SEIKO 5
Automatic
Day/Date Indicator
This is a very unique and attractive looking watch, a 37mm Seiko 5 automatic wristwatch.
The Seiko 5 is also steeped in horological history. When it stepped onto the scene in 1963, it was revolutionary. Seiko set out to build a watch with five attributes, from which the watch gets its name:
- Self-winding automatic movement
- Resistance to water
- Day-date in a single window
- Recessed crown
- Durable case
Today, we are presenting a stunning timepiece, it is a vintage Seiko 5 automatic watch dated from April, 1984. It is a self winding wristwatch day/date indicator, caliber Seiko 7009A, 17 jewels movement, sweep second, Japan made.
What makes this watch a lovely timepiece, is that it still has the original blue sunburst dial (in beautiful condition) with white and silver hour marks applied, minute marks and matching hands. The day/date indicator is located at 3. Also, the dial is signed with the Seiko name and "Automatic" as well.
It has a 37mm round case and lugs design, all in stainless steel. It is coming with the original (so it seems) stainless steel flex band bracelet. Optional, we are offering a brand new black alligator calf (I. W. Suisse) two pieces strap.
This watch is in lovely condition, it is a very good looking watch. Runs very well and keeps great time!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also somewhat smaller than today’s offerings in many cases. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.
See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.
It will be carefully packed.
