For the discerning collector, we are proud to offer this stunning Seiko Sportmatic from December 1966. This model perfectly captures the transition era of Seiko, featuring the iconic "hidden crown" at the 4 o'clock position, giving the gold-plated cushion case a sleek, symmetrical profile on the wrist. The standout feature of this timepiece is the silver sunburst "Crosshair" dial. This specific design detail is a favorite among vintage collectors for its technical, instrument-like aesthetic. The dial is in excellent condition, complemented by raised gold-tone indices and sharp dauphine hands. Condition Report • Mechanical: The Caliber 7625 movement has been recently professionally cleaned and oiled. It is running perfectly and keeping excellent time. • Crystal: Fitted with a brand new NOS (New Old Stock) acrylic crystal, providing a crystal-clear view of the dial with zero scratches. • Case: The gold-plated cushion case retains its sharp lines. It shows honest, age-appropriate wear that adds to its vintage character without compromising its elegance. • Dial/Hands: Original silver sunburst dial with rare crosshair markings. Very clean with bo patina. Collector's Note The Sportmatic line was designed to be "the watch for every day," but few have survived in this condition. Finding an example from 1966 that has been mechanically overhauled and fitted with original-spec parts is becoming increasingly difficult. This is a "set and forget" vintage piece—perfect as a daily dress watch or a cornerstone of a Seiko collection.
