Description from the seller
Now available at auction from Second Vintage
A well-preserved example of Seiko's mid-century automatic design, this 1964 Sportsmatic Deluxe highlights an exceptionally clean silver sunburst dial. The classic configuration, complete with a recessed crown and dedicated date pusher, presents a highly practical and attractive vintage aesthetic.
Brand: Seiko
Model: Sportsmatic Deluxe
Serial Number: 4008037
Movement: Automatic, caliber 7606A, 23 jewels
Dial: Silver sunburst with applied gold-tone indices and day-date display
Case Size: 37 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Gold-tone, stainless steel caseback
Production Year: 1964
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: +22+25s/day, running strong and steady.
Dial and Hands
The silver sunburst dial is exceptionally clean and vibrant for its age, remaining very well-preserved. Applied gold-tone indices and the crisp Seiko 5 logo provide excellent contrast, while all printed text is fully intact with no visible loss. The day-date window frame is similarly clean. Gold-tone dauphine hands match the indices perfectly, showing minimal aging with only very minor micro-oxidation visible under magnification.
Case and Crystal
The gold-tone case presents honest vintage wear, displaying typical plating degradation on high-contact areas. There are moderate scratches and handling marks throughout, with visible plating wear and tarnishing noted on the lug edges and case flanks. A smooth gold-tone bezel frames the dial, showing light scratches and minor plating wear consistent with the rest of the case. The recessed crown is positioned at 4 o'clock, alongside a date pusher at 3 o'clock that exhibits some plating wear. The stainless steel caseback shows light surface scratches. A domed acrylic crystal protects the dial, remaining clear with no major scratches, cracks, or crazing visible.
Movement
Powering the watch is the automatic caliber 7606A, a 23-jewel movement featuring a dedicated date quickset pusher. The movement appears generally clean, with the rotor and bridges showing minor surface marks and light signs of age. Engravings for the caliber and jewel count remain clear, and no severe corrosion or damage is visible. Recording +22+25s/day on the timegrapher. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring yellow contrast stitching, creating an attractive look that complements the dial accents. The strap shows light wear and creasing, and is secured by an unsigned gold-tone buckle.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The dial and hands remain exceptionally well-preserved and vibrant. The gold-tone case and bezel show honest wear, including moderate scratches and visible plating degradation on the lugs, flanks, and date pusher. The stainless steel caseback and acrylic crystal display only light surface scratches. Supported by the recorded timegrapher result, the movement is running strong and steady.
Dimensions
The case size is 37 mm (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This Sportsmatic Deluxe offers a highly attractive visual presence driven by its remarkably clean dial and crisp applied indices. The practical day-date configuration and reliable 7606A automatic movement make it a highly wearable mid-century timepiece.
History
The Seiko Sportsmatic Deluxe line was designed as a more refined version of the standard Sportsmatic. Introduced during a highly innovative period for the brand, the Deluxe variations offered higher jewel counts and practical complications like the day-date display. This 1964 example perfectly illustrates the clean, functional, and accessible automatic design that helped define Seiko's global success during the 1960s.
