Seiko - Open-Face Quartz 5-Jewel - 7550-0010 - 1980-1989
Introduction
This is a Seiko Quartz open-face pocket watch with a clean white dial carrying large, bold Arabic numerals and elegant spade hands — a classic layout that is immediately legible at a glance. The dial is signed 'SEIKO QUARTZ' and carries the Seiko diamond logo beneath the centre. The quartz movement, visible with the caseback opened, is signed 'SEIKO QUARTZ / FIVE 5 JEWELS / JAPAN' and is in running order.
Historical / Era context
Seiko's open-face pocket watch lineage stretches back to the Seikosha era, and the quartz-converted open-face form continued that tradition for railway staff and institutional users throughout the latter decades of the twentieth century. This example uses a battery-powered quartz movement with five jewels, housed in a chrome-finished round case — practical, robust, and highly legible. The case reference stamped on the exterior caseback reads 'JAPAN 7550-0010', placing it within Seiko's 7550-series quartz pocket watch family. The T-bar chain fob is included.
Condition
The watch is running and keeping good time. The watch was checked running at the time of listing with a fresh battery. Battery life and long-term accuracy are not guaranteed. As a vintage timepiece it may benefit from a service.
Case: The case retains a strong mirror polish on the bezel and caseback. There are scattered fine surface scratches on the case band consistent with normal handling. The caseback exterior stamp is crisp and fully legible. The winding crown and bail ring are intact and undamaged. The plating shows light wear on the case band edges.
Dial: The white dial is clean, bright and fully legible with no staining, spotting or discolouration visible. All numerals and the 'SEIKO QUARTZ' text are sharp and undamaged.
Crystal: The crystal is clear with no cracks. There are light surface micro-scratches consistent with age, but it does not impede dial legibility.
Movement: The watch is running. With the caseback opened, the movement is marked 'SEIKO QUARTZ / FIVE 5 JEWELS / JAPAN'. The circuit board, coil and stepping motor are visible and in clean condition. A silver-oxide cell is fitted.
Accessories: A third-party T-bar fob chain is included. No original box or papers are present.
Please review all photographs carefully for the detailed condition.
