SEIKO Sportsman 6602-1990 Manual-Winding Date Men’s Watch – 17 Jewels – Diashock – Vintage Introduction This vintage Seiko Sportsman 6602-1990 is a classic Japanese mechanical wristwatch featuring a silver-tone dial, applied baton hour markers, a date display at 3 o’clock, and a traditional three-hand layout. The restrained dial design, slim round case, and burgundy leather-style strap give the watch an attractive mid-century dress-watch character. It is currently running at the time of listing. Historical & Collector Value The Seiko Sportsman line represents an earlier period of the brand’s mechanical watch production, when practical hand-wound movements were combined with clean and versatile styling. This example is equipped with the Seiko 6602 hand-wound movement and displays the “Diashock 17” marking on the dial. Diashock refers to Seiko’s shock-protection system for the movement. The applied markers, framed date window, slender hands, and naturally aged dial give the watch an authentic vintage appearance. It is not presented as a limited edition or exceptionally rare model, but its mechanical construction, period design, and visible patina make it an appealing piece for collectors of early Japanese watches.
