The case back is engraved “Seiko Champion 850,” “Stainless Steel” and reference J15018. Approximate case diameter: 36 mm excluding the crown. Manual-winding mechanical movement. 17 jewels. Three-hand display. Stainless-steel case. Reference: J15018. Brown leather strap with silver-tone buckle. A fine example of an early Seiko mechanical dress watch and an attractive piece for collectors of vintage Japanese watches. Condition The watch is in good vintage condition considering its age. The silver-tone dial is well preserved overall, with some small age-related marks and spots visible upon close inspection. The hands and applied hour markers remain attractive. The stainless-steel case shows normal light scratches and signs of use consistent with age, while retaining an attractive overall appearance and case shape. The crystal shows minor signs of use. The brown leather strap is aftermarket and shows considerable wear, including surface deterioration, creasing and wear around the adjustment holes.
