Seiko 5 Automatic “Silver Sunburst Day-Date” – Vintage

Classic vintage Seiko 5 Automatic, featuring an elegant silver-toned dial with soleil finish and the typical Day-Date configuration that made the Seiko 5 family famous. A specimen with strong ’70s charm, with classic proportions and a versatile aesthetic.

For this configuration I propose the name “Silver Sunburst Day-Date.”

The dial features applied rectangular indices, luminous-filled hands, the Seiko 5 logo applied, and day-of-the-week and date at 3 o'clock, with the day highlighted in blue. The crystal and case show the usual signs accumulated over the years, consistent with the vintage nature of the watch.

Movement

The heart of the watch is a Seiko 21-jewel mechanical automatic movement, belonging to the tradition of robust, simple calibers that helped spread the Seiko 5 line internationally. The rotor visible through the caseback provides winding of the movement during wear on the wrist.

A little history

The Seiko 5 collection was born in the 1960s with the aim of offering reliable automatic watches suitable for everyday use. The combination of automatic movement, Day-Date calendar, and practical construction quickly transformed the series into one of the most recognizable families of Japanese production.

This specimen fully preserves that aesthetic: clean dial, case with vintage-typical shapes and dimensions that today are particularly appealing for those seeking a classic automatic not too large.

Aesthetic conditions: 8/10. Scratches and signs of time removable with a polishing.

Fast and insured worldwide shipping, with careful packaging to protect the watch during transit.
