Description from the seller
Presented for auction by Second Vintage

Brand: Seiko
Model: Seiko 5 Sportsmatic
Reference Number: 6619-8090
Serial Number: 6021121
Movement: Automatic
Dial: Silver sunburst with applied faceted indices and Kanji day/date
Case Size: 36mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1966
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: -30-35s/day, running strong and steady.
Dial and Hands
The silver sunburst dial is well preserved, featuring applied faceted indices and crisp printing throughout. A Kanji day wheel alongside the date window at 3 o'clock adds character to the layout. Under magnification, very minor dust or spotting is visible, maintaining an honest aesthetic. The age-consistent Dauphine hands display minor oxidation and spotting on their surfaces.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case displays honest wear, with scratches and minor dings present on the lugs and case flanks. A fluted bezel frames the dial, showing significant plating wear and brassing on the outer edges. The recessed crown at 4 o'clock exhibits typical wear. Turning the watch over reveals the dolphin motif clearly visible on the caseback. The domed acrylic crystal features light surface scratches, notably near the 11 o'clock position.
Movement
Inside beats the Seiko caliber 6619, a 21-jewel automatic movement. The automatic rotor is present and engraved with SEIKO and 21 JEWELS, showing minor surface scratches alongside a generally clean appearance. Timegrapher: -30-35s/day. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a modern black leather strap featuring white contrast stitching. It appears new or very lightly used and is secured with an unsigned clasp.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The dial remains beautifully crisp with only minor spotting under magnification, while the hands show age-consistent oxidation. The case exhibits honest wear, including scratches and minor dings, and the fluted bezel shows significant brassing on its outer edges. The domed crystal bears light surface scratches. Supported by the timegrapher results, the automatic movement is running strong and steady.
Dimensions
Case Size: 36mm (excluding the crown)
Remarks
This Seiko 5 Sportsmatic is a charming vintage timepiece characterized by its crisp silver dial, Kanji day wheel, and dolphin caseback. The honest wear and notable brassing on the bezel provide a genuine 1960s aesthetic for the enthusiast of mid-century Japanese design.
History
Introduced in 1964, the Seiko caliber 6619A represents an important era of the brand's mechanical development. The movement utilizes Seiko's highly efficient Magic Lever self-winding mechanism, purposefully designed without a handwinding function via the recessed crown. Notably, the caliber features an innovative push-button quickset date function, showcasing Seiko's practical approach to everyday watchmaking during the 1960s.
