Product Description A distinctive vintage Seiko 5 ACTUS Automatic wristwatch featuring an elegant black dial, a stainless steel case, and a practical day-date display at 3 o’clock. The dial features a classic black finish, complemented by silver-tone hands and applied hour markers. The distinctive Seiko 5 ACTUS logo and classic case design reflect the stylish appearance of Japanese automatic watches from the 1970s. This model features a 21-jewel automatic movement and a practical day-date display, combining classic vintage styling with everyday functionality. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel multi-link bracelet, which complements the silver-tone case and black dial design. The automatic movement has been confirmed to operate; however, the watch tends to stop after a relatively short period of time. Servicing or an overhaul is recommended for more reliable operation. Please note that the watch is being sold in its current condition. The dial shows visible age-related spotting and discoloration, particularly across the right side and outer areas. These characteristics reflect the watch’s vintage condition. As this is a vintage watch, scratches, marks, discoloration, aging, and other signs of previous use may be present.
