Product Description The Seiko 5 (Ref. 7S26-3040) is a 1990s automatic watch that carries forward Seiko’s clean, practical design language into a more modern era. Its vibrant sunburst gold dial features a concentric inner ring, applied round hour markers, and a raised Seiko 5 logo, creating a bold yet versatile look that works well in both business and casual settings. The rounded stainless‑steel case with integrated bracelet and discreet 4 o’clock crown ensures comfortable everyday wear, while the framed day‑date display at 3 o’clock provides practical functionality for daily use. ​ Historical and Collector Significance The 7S26-3040 is powered by Seiko’s 21‑jewel 7S26 automatic caliber, a workhorse movement introduced in the mid‑1990s and widely used across the Seiko 5 and diver’s lines for its durability and low‑maintenance construction. This reference represents the transition from the earlier 7000‑series movements to the modern Seiko 5 generation, retaining the classic formula of automatic winding, day‑date complication, and robust stainless‑steel case, but pairing it with brighter dial colors and updated case geometry. Well‑kept examples of the 7S26-3040, especially with original gold dials and factory bracelets, are appreciated by collectors as reliable entry‑level vintage pieces that combine dependable mechanics with distinctive 1990s Seiko styling. ​ Brand: Seiko Model: SEIKO 5 Reference number: 7S26-3040 Serial number: 9N2569 Movement: Automatic (Seiko Cal. 7S26) Day display: English and Spanish Case dimensions: Approx. 38 mm (excluding crown) Bracelet material: Stainless steel Wrist size adjustment: Adjustable from approximately 15.8 cm to 17.2 cm by adding or removing links and using the micro‑adjustment holes on the buckle (currently set at 16.5 cm, center position).
