Description
Very rare black Seiko 5 Sportsmatic 1st model in good overall condition. It was released in June 1964 according to its serial number. These vintage Seiko Sportsmatic are a must have imo, they look modern and are reliable, so they are perfectly suited for an every day use.
This watch is in its original condition, nice black dial with only minor wear, dauphine hands and steel hour markers, white inner bezel. Day (in english) and date at 3 (without quickset on this Seikosha 410 !)). The case of this early Sportsmatic is made of chromed brass, it is in good condition but with some minor loss of chrome and pitting (see pictures).
The movement is a Seikosha 410 21-jewel automatic (which will later become the Seiko 6619). It works fine, holds very good time and is according to my experience one of the most reliable mid-range automatic movements ever made by Seiko. The watch has been serviced in November, 2021.
The crystal is new, as is the black leather bracelet.
Vintage watch with unknown history but checked and cleaned. Water resistance non tested.
The pictures are actual and are part of the description, so please look carefully at them.
