Seiko - Sportsmatic - No reserve price - 5200705 - Men - 1963

Seiko Sportsmatic
This was the first Seiko watch to be fully designed, developed and produced by Suwa Seikosha — in accordance with Seiko's plans — including the movement, dial, and case. In addition to a simple automatic winding mechanism, water resistance and a shock-resistant movement, the watch distinguished itself by a design focused on excellent legibility. Especially the integrated construction where both the date and the day were displayed in a single window formed a groundbreaking innovation. Additionally, the design reflected the innovative character of the automatic winding feature by placing the crown at the 4 o’clock position, recessed into the case. The Sportsmatic 5 earned much praise for its market success
