A classic vintage piece from Seiko’s celebrated Kameido factory, this Sportsmatic Ref. 7625-8140 stands out with its rare design elements and elegant profile:

Crystal: Acrylic crystal with integrated date magnifier (cyclops lens).

Condition Report
Overall Condition: Good vintage condition with light signs of age appropriate for a 1968 timepiece.
Dial & Hands: The black dial is remarkably clean and well-preserved. Hands and hour markers show slight, natural age-related patina, but all markings remain crisp.
Crystal: Clear visibility with very minor hairline surface scratches. Fine micro-dust particles are visible on the interior perimeter upon close inspection.
Case: Solid stainless steel case showing minor surface scratches, tiny flea bites, and age-consistent wear. Unpolished or lightly preserved, maintaining sharp lug geometry.
Case Back: Screw-down case back with clear and legible factory engravings (STAINLESS STEEL 7625-8140 WATER PROOF).
Strap: Fitted with a brand-new, high-quality domestic Japanese aftermarket Crepha synthetic leather strap and matching stainless steel buckle.
Movement / Functionality: Tested lying flat for 12 hours prior to listing—running strong and keeping accurate time. Date mechanism functions correctly. As with all vintage mechanical timepieces, periodic servicing is recommended for optimal daily use.
