We are privileged to offer this distinguished Seiko Sportsmatic 5 Deluxe, a highly collectible timepiece dating back to August 1965. As a "Deluxe" model, this watch represented a higher tier of the legendary Sportsmatic line, offering superior finishing and specifications compared to the standard models of the era. It is a quintessential example of mid-century Japanese horology, blending robust functionality with dress-watch elegance. The watch features a classic 38mm gold-plated case (SGP) adorned with a distinctive fluted bezel, giving it a sophisticated presence on the wrist. The silver sunburst dial is marked with the "5" shield and "Deluxe" script, alongside substantial applied hour markers. One of the most desirable features for collectors is the crisp "Dolphin" emblem engraved on the stainless steel case back, symbolizing its water-resistant heritage. Ideally suited for the vintage enthusiast, this piece captures the charm of the 1960s. Technically, it is powered by the robust Caliber 7619 automatic movement, featuring 25 jewels and a unique push-button date quickset located at the 2 o'clock position—a signature innovation of this specific caliber. While the watch is fully functional, please note that the acrylic crystal shows significant scratches and crazing consistent with its age. The gold plating also shows signs of vintage character. This timepiece is a true survivor, ready to be worn as is or restored to its former glory.
