Description

Early Seiko 5 Sportsmatic Deluxe 7606-7980 in good overall condition. It was produces in June 1965 according to its serial number. These Seiko Sportsmatic Deluxe are an enhanced version of the 5 Sportsmatic with a date quickset (with a dedicated pusher), a stainless steel case and a better finishing.
This Sportmatic Deluxe is in its original condition, nice white dial, dauphine hands and steel hour markers on the inner bezel (the inner bezel has a mark between 3 and 4, as you can see). Day (in English) and date at 3 (with quickset). The case is in good condition, with some minor wear.
The movement is a Seiko 23-jewel automatic 7606. It has been serviced, it works great, holding good time (gaining about 10 s a day), the balance having an excellent amplitude.

The crystal is new, the vintage stainless steel bracelet is an old Seiko one, probably from the same era but not original (should be Seiko 5 embossed, I think).

Vintage watch with unknown history but checked, serviced (07/2022) and cleaned. Water resistance non tested.
