Product Description The Seiko 5 (Ref. 7S26‑3040) is a 1990s automatic wristwatch that updates Seiko’s clean, practical design language with a bold sunburst gold dial and integrated bracelet for a distinctly modern vintage look. ​ Its champagne‑tone dial with concentric inner ring, applied round hour markers, and raised Seiko 5 logo delivers strong visual impact, while the rounded stainless‑steel case with seamless bracelet, discreet 4 o’clock crown, and framed day‑date window at 3 o’clock keep it comfortable and functional for everyday wear. ​ Historical and Collector Significance The 7S26‑3040 is powered by Seiko’s 21‑jewel 7S26 automatic caliber, introduced in the mid‑1990s and widely used across Seiko 5 and diver models for its durability, 21,600 vph beat rate, roughly 41‑hour power reserve, and low‑maintenance construction without hand‑winding or hacking. ​ This reference marks the shift from earlier 7000‑series calibers to the modern Seiko 5 generation, pairing the classic formula of automatic winding, day‑date display, and robust stainless‑steel build with brighter dial colors and updated, integrated case geometry. ​ Well‑preserved 7S26‑3040 examples with original gold dials and factory bracelets are increasingly valued by enthusiasts as accessible, entry‑level vintage Seiko 5 pieces that combine dependable mechanics with distinctive 1990s styling and an unmistakably retro wrist presence. ​ Details Brand: Seiko Model: Seiko 5 Reference number: 7S26‑3040 Serial number: 920521 Movement: Automatic (Seiko 7S26, 21 jewels, approx. 41‑hour power reserve) ​ Day display: English and Spanish Case dimensions: approx. 38 mm (excluding crown) Bracelet material: Stainless steel Bracelet and Wrist Size Adjustable from approximately 16.3 cm to 17.7 cm by adding or removing links and changing the micro‑adjustment holes on the buckle.
