1988’s Rare Vintage Quartz SEIKO PRESAGE 9539-6000 Analog Watch with Calendar Silver Round Gold Bezel Case Same Two-Tone Metal Band New Battery Good Condition: KQ155 The "PRESAGE" series is Seiko's classic line, featuring both mechanical and quartz movements, and is characterized by a simple yet elegant design. The Seiko Presage 9539-6000 is a vintage Presage dress watch from the late 1980s, likely produced around 1987. It’s considered a vintage Japanese quartz Presage model on the secondary market, showing classic 1980s Seiko design cues (simple dial, date window, thin case). as part of Seiko’s Presage line — a series originally intended to combine everyday reliability with traditional styling. The modern Presage lineage itself is rooted in Seiko’s long history of mechanical and dress watches spanning back to early national wristwatch production. Unlike many modern Presage models (which are predominantly mechanical), the 9539-6000 is a quartz-powered watch, likely using an 8N*-series caliber typical to Seiko’s higher-accuracy quartz movements from that era (common in watches with a date function), with typical accuracy ±20 sec/year, known for solid accuracy and reliability in mid-to-upper-tier Seiko quartz watches of the 1980s. Design itself is vintage aesthetic with gold tone (often plated case and bracelet two-toned), cream/gold dial, simple hour markers, and a date window — reflecting late-20th-century dress watch styling. To understand this model’s place in the brand lineage, Presage today is recognized globally as Seiko’s premium mechanical dress watch line blending Japanese aesthetics and traditional craftsmanship. The modern Presage lineup spans everything from Cocktail Time dials to Craftsmanship enamel dials. In the 1980s, Seiko produced many quartz-powered dress watches, both under the Presage name and other collections, as quartz dominated the market. The 9539-6000 is one such model aimed at everyday luxury. As quartz movement revolution, Seiko was a pioneer of quartz watch technology, launching the first quartz wristwatch and continuously refining movement accuracy — making models like the 9539-6000 parts of that broader quartz heritage. The PRESAGE model has changed its appearance with the times, just like the changing seasons, and has earned enthusiastic support from Seiko's customer base. Detail features: ■Brand Design: PRESAGE ■Model No: 9539-6000 ■Product Number：850446 Manufactured May 1988: Seiko serial numbers are six digits long, with the first two digits indicating the year and month of manufacture. The first number （8） indicates the eighth year of the 1980s, meaning the watch was manufactured in 1988. The next letter （5） is the month code.

Therefore, this watch was manufactured in May 1988. ■Technical features of the 9539 movement ■Movement Features： • The Seiko caliber 9539 is an analog quartz watch movement. • Sub-brands: Presage • Battery:SR916SW / 373 (Silver oxide) New Battery replaced February 28th 2026 • Jewels: 5jewels unique ,since Seiko 95xx family use no jewels, since pure quartz stepping motor movements don’t need them. • Size & Dimensions: movements in the 953x series typically measure around 22–24mm diameter i • Quartz Frequency: Standard 32,768 Hz quartz crystal oscillator (typical for Seiko analog quartz). While the exact ± rating for 9539 isn’t published, many similar quartz movements from Seiko of the era were around ±20 seconds/year accuracy. • Function: Time-only with date (in the *9539-series watches), central hour/minute two hands and date display. • Development division: Suwa Seikosha (Nagano) and Tokyo’s Kameido factories were primary quartz production hubs for Seiko at this time, producing reliable analog quartz engines • PDF guides:Instruction manual (Japanese & English) ■Materials: • Case: Stainless Steel • Case Size:32mm excluding crown X 37mm including case lug Thickness: 7mm • Dial: Silver and gold trimmed bezel case and Champagne Pale Gold dial with fine double bar gold indexes 2 hands and fancy stylish navy cardinal markers for 12-3-6-9 display combined for both legibility and elegance • Water Resistant:10BAR classified as "enhanced water resistance for everyday use," it can withstand pressures up to 100 meters It is rare to have a 10BAR water-resistant like diver’s watch from the perspective of the market at the time. • Class 1 antimagnetic watch: Anti Magnetic 60G This watch meets the standard of being able to maintain its performance in most cases even when brought up to 5cm from devices that generate magnetic fields in everyday life （ability to withstand a DC magnetic field of 4800 A/m）. • Total Weight:77.9gms • Case Back: S Steel • Band: S Steel The wrist circumference is 19cm measured by a tape. Buckle closure has internal small stopper to ensure buckle closure • Crystal: Sapphire Crystal • Water Resistant:10BAR classified as "enhanced water resistance for everyday use," it can withstand pressures up to 100 meters It is rare to have a 10BAR water-resistant like diver’s watch from the perspective of the market at the time. But don't expect too much from it: Even if it was labeled "Water Resistant" at the time, it doesn't meet modern standards. Avoid using it around water. • Class 1 antimagnetic watch: Anti Magnetic 60G This watch meets the standard of being able to maintain its performance in most cases even when brought up to 5cm from devices that generate magnetic fields in everyday life （ability to withstand a DC magnetic field of 4800 A/m）. ■Condition: Overall: The watch is in good pre-owned vintage condition and is currently in working order.
