Description
Big Seiko 5 Sports 5126-8100 from 1968. It is an early model, 1968 being the year Seiko introduced this “5 Sports” range.
The watch is in good original condition, the crystal and the leather band are new.
Nice deep blue dial with some wear (the “o” from “Sports” is missing), bâtons minute and hour hands (with patina) and lollypop second hand. Outer steel bezel with black markers. Day (in english) and date at 3 (with quickset for the date only).
The movement is a quite rare Seiko 23-jewel automatic 5126. It has just been serviced, it works very well (+/- 15 s/d).
The overall condition is good, the big pillow case has been slighlty polished and still has some light wear. The hands have a little patina.
Definetely a gorgeous vintage Seiko watch, in good condition.
Vintage watch with unknown history but serviced (2021/04) checked and cleaned. Water resistance non tested (so no dipping or shower with this watch).
The pictures are actual and are part of the description, so please look carefully at them.
