Dial and Hands
The dial is well-preserved and vibrant, featuring a gold-tone sunburst finish that catches the light beautifully. Applied indices with intact lume plots provide clear legibility, and the surface remains in clean condition with no visible damage or staining. The original baton hands feature lume inserts and display light aging, with minor oxidation visible under magnification.

Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case displays honest wear consistent with regular use, showing moderate scratches and wear on the flanks and lugs. Its caseback engravings remain crisp and legible. The gold-tone fluted bezel frames the dial nicely, though it exhibits visible plating wear and fading on the outer edges. A recessed gold-tone crown sits at the 4 o'clock position, featuring an unsigned plain dome. The flat mineral crystal shows minor surface scratches and dust.

Movement

Good vintage condition. The movement was serviced on 9 November 2026 and, supported by the recorded timegrapher result, is performing very strongly. The dial remains in excellent, clean condition.

Recognized as the predecessor to the later Seiko 5 SNXJ family, it established a classic aesthetic that remained popular for decades. Powered by the caliber 7009, this era of Seiko 5 models offered robust mechanical reliability, cementing the line's reputation for accessible and enduring automatic watches.
