Description from the seller
Seikomatic J14099DE "Diashock 17 Jewels" (circa 1960–1962): One of the earliest dress-style Seikomatic watches, powered by caliber 603—later renamed 6201. This caliber is the direct predecessor of the entire 62xx family, which also includes the 62MAS diver’s watch. A version of this reference with 20 jewels is known from auction listings; this 17-jewel variant does not appear to be documented elsewhere online. The watch features a dial with a concentric guilloché pattern and a minute track with a diamond-like texture. The case is just 9.5 mm thick, thanks to Seiko’s space-saving “Magic Lever” winding system.
The watch shows signs of wear. The dial is beginning to develop a patina, reflecting the passage of time. This makes it a unique and priceless piece. Please note that the watch you are bidding on is an antique from the 1960s. Apart from the strap, the watch is entirely original and in like-new condition. The watch may need some servicing; please bear this in mind. A vintage, handmade genuine leather strap is fitted to the watch.
