--- Introduction --- A handsome variation on the Seiko 5 theme, this example swaps the usual silver dial for a deep black one finished with a fine textured pattern and lifted by gold-tone baton markers and hands. The bilingual day wheel sits alongside the date at three o'clock, and the whole thing is housed in a faceted steel case with a domed crystal. Inside runs the 7S26 automatic calibre, the movement that has kept these watches ticking for decades. --- Specifications --- Brand: Seiko Series: Seiko 5 Reference: 7S26-8760 Movement: Automatic, calibre 7S26, twenty-one jewels Case Material: Stainless steel Crystal: Hardlex mineral crystal Dial: Black with textured finish, gold-tone applied baton markers and bilingual day/date aperture at 3 o'clock Case Back: Stainless steel, engraved "SEIKO - WATER RESISTANT - STAINLESS STEEL - 7S26-8760 - MADE IN JAPAN" Bracelet: Stainless steel bracelet with signed folding clasp Period: 1970-1979 Country of Origin: Japan --- Condition Report --- Overall: A smart example in good pre-owned condition, showing honest signs of wear consistent with age and use.
