The Seiko 5 Actus SS, reference 6106-7480, is a stylish and technologically significant model from the vibrant era of 1970s Japanese watchmaking. Manufactured in November 1970, this timepiece features the "SS" designation, which stands for "Second Setting," highlighting its hacking function—a premium feature that allows the second hand to stop for precise time synchronization. The watch showcases a clean silver sunburst dial with sharp applied baton indices, embodying the geometric "Grammar of Design" aesthetics popular at the time. It is powered by the robust Caliber 6106 automatic movement with 23 jewels, a higher jewel count than standard Seiko 5 models, ensuring greater longevity and precision. The day-date complication is housed in a single window frame, adding to the dial's symmetry. This vintage piece is in good condition (Grade AB) but shows signs of its 50-year journey. The acrylic crystal has visible surface scratches, and the case exhibits wear typical of a watch that has been enjoyed. The case back proudly bears the "Waterproof" inscription, a detail found on models produced before the industry-wide shift to "Water Resistant" markings. It comes on a stainless steel bracelet fitting a wrist up to approximately 17.5cm. Please note: import duties and taxes are the buyer’s responsibility. The watch will be shipped promptly with tracking and insurance. A functional and collectible piece of Seiko's history.
