According to most legitimate online information available, the Seiko 7S26 and 7S36 movements made their debuts in 1996. This 7S26 movement was the backbone of the Seiko 5 range and many other models such as the Diver SKX007 and the SNK 7S26 range.

The 7S26C was the last variant that officially debuted in 2011 worldwide. The 7S26 and 7S36 was discontinued in 2018 in favour of the 4R3X range that had hacking features.

For Seiko Collectors and Vintage fans, this is a discontinued NEAR New Old Stock (NOS) Seiko 7S26-01V0 21J in MINT condition. This is a highly sort-after Collectible.

The dial and relevant components underwent a deep cleaning to reveal a pristine conditioned dial. The unique dial has miniature Seiko 5 Logos imprinted throughout the entire dial! Cool!

This silver case is in NEAR NOS condition with its super sharp lines and is beautifully maintained. It was also given a good cleaning via ultrasonic immersion and a buff afterwards, so too its Hardlex crystal which is almost spotless now.

The crown is located at the traditional 4H position and is neatly tucked away to prevent damage and snags. The date / day quickset works as it should by uncorking the crown to the first level for date/day adjustment and second level for hands adjustment.

Even though it is less then 20 years old, its movement was nonetheless carefully stripped and meticulously cleaned via ultrasonic immersion, oiled, re-assembled and calibrated on 10 October 2023; hence it underwent a proper overhaul and not a general servicing. It should be able to operate unhindered until the next servicing thereby providing the owner peace of mind.

The Day is in Spanish and English, cool!

Equipped with the 7S26 modern movement, it has 21 Jewels that operate at 21,600 BPH. The time-grapher shows superb readings of 0 seconds and amplitude of 221 in a straight and centered line! Such readings are truly exceptional even by brand new modern automatic watch standards whereby the accepted tolerance is -20 to +40 seconds a day! This is a testament to the quality, the meticulous care provided over the years, and of course the painstaking expert calibration.

The case width and height are approximately 37mm (without crown) and 42mm respectively. The lug width is 18mm and the bracelet can accommodate wrists up to 20cm; hence, the watch size is suitable for men and the modern women.

Even though all gaskets and seals are intact / replaced, this timepiece has not been water-resistant tested.

The pictures provided show the watch’s cases are in pristine condition (no dents and major scratches), and the movement within squeaky clean and well maintained. They have been demagnetised to improve parts reliability, minimise wear + tear, and improve accuracy. The only drawback is the lack of documentation and original box. A nice purposeful carrying case or box will be provided.

Seldom can one find a Seiko 5 7S26-01V0 in mint condition and more. Yes, there are many other same / similar models in the market, but none are as well-kept and maintained as what you see here, and with an attractive price to boot. So, it is a no-brainer that this one-of-a-kind watch will make an extremely beautiful birthday present for that special someone born in October 2010! Another no-brainer is the fact that the value of these watches will appreciate over time.

Bear in mind that this watch has seen many of the previous owners’ ups and downs in life and should be cherished and well taken care of for the next generation to savour such engineering beauty.

This is a highly sort-after Seiko 7S26-01V0 Collectors timepiece in near NOS condition; so, be unique and own a Seiko October 2010 Birthday Watch that is almost impossible to source in such fine condition or purchase it for that special someone instead.

Disclaimer:

Even though I have tried to take the pictures with natural light, the colour of the watch may differ from the actual product due to various factors such as nature of camera and computer you are using.

The pictures showcase the watch from almost all angles possible. We cannot be held responsible if the camera does not pick up a minor imperfection.

The calibration was conducted in sunny Singapore where the temperature is mid 30s and the humidity is in the 90s. I cannot guarantee the same performance of the watch in your country. So, I cannot be held responsible for this.

Everyone has a different level of expectations when they purchase a product. Please refrain from bidding if you expect perfection for a used vintage watch because any part can malfunction at any time.

A final check will be conducted and a video taken to prove the watch performance before the watch is despatched; however, we cannot guarantee and cannot be held responsible if the watch does not perform in your country.
