Automatic alarm watch, serviced, guaranteed, with new crystal and leather strap. Classic vintage Seiko. Model History: The Seiko Bell-Matic is one of the most technically interesting wristwatches of the 1960s, representing Seiko’s innovative approach to complications. Introduced in the mid-1960s, the Bell-Matic series was among the first automatic wristwatches in the world to feature a fully mechanical alarm complication. Unlike hand-wound alarm watches, the Bell-Matic uses an ingenious automatic winding system combined with a separate alarm barrel, allowing the alarm to function independently of the main timekeeping power reserve. The reference 4006-7000 is an early and highly regarded variant, produced during the formative years of the Bell-Matic line. Its clean, functional dial layout, combined with the distinctive fluted chapter ring and dual-crown configuration, makes it a quintessential example of late-1960s Japanese watch design - robust, practical, and technically ambitious.
