--- Introduction --- This is the Seiko 5 in its most familiar 1980s dress: a slim, softly angular steel case, a silver sunburst dial with applied gilt batons, and the day and date sitting together at 3 behind the calibre 7009. It is the pattern that made the line the default mechanical watch of its era - self-winding, quietly accurate, and built to be worn rather than admired. Presented on its original steel bracelet with a signed Seiko clasp. --- Specifications --- Brand: Seiko Series: Seiko 5 Automatic Reference: 7009-876A; serial 436870 Movement: Seiko calibre 7009, automatic Case Material: Stainless steel Crystal: Hardlex mineral glass Dial: Silver with applied gilt batons, day and date aperture at 3, signed SEIKO 5 and AUTOMATIC Case Back: Screw-down steel back engraved SEIKO, WATER RESISTANT, STAINLESS STEEL, reference 7009-876A and serial 436870 Bracelet: Original Seiko stainless steel bracelet with signed folding clasp Period: 1980-1989 Country of Origin: Japan --- Condition Report --- Overall: Good - visible signs of wear. A running vintage automatic with one functional caveat, described below. Case & Bezel: The steel case retains its form, with hairline scratches and small nicks across the polished bezel and caseband, and some dulling of the brushed surfaces from wear. Dial & Crystal: The silver dial is clean and even, with all applied gilt batons and hands present and correct and both discs legible. The crystal is clear, showing light surface marks. Bracelet & Clasp: The steel bracelet is complete and closes securely on its signed clasp. The links show scratches, dulling of the finish and the stretch usual to a bracelet of this age. Functions: Automatic movement, running at the time of listing and winding by wrist motion. The date sets correctly. IMPORTANT - the quick-set for the day of the week does not work; the day disc advances only as the movement runs through the hours. The buyer should budget for a service if this function is required. Water resistance has not been tested and cannot be guaranteed on a watch of this age. --- International Shipping & Customs --- The watch is dispatched from Japan, carefully packed and fully tracked.
