Description This reference is powered by Seiko’s proven 21‑jewel 7S26 automatic caliber, beating at 21,600 vph with roughly 40–41 hours of power reserve. It is valued for its durability, bi‑directional winding, and straightforward, low‑maintenance construction without hand‑winding or hacking. ​ Introduced in the mid‑1990s, the 7S26 movement became a mainstay of the Seiko 5 line and embodies the classic five key features: automatic winding, day‑date display, practical water resistance (not guaranteed for vintage watches), a recessed 4 o’clock crown, and a robust steel case and bracelet. ​ Well‑preserved 7S26‑8760 examples with original white dial, hands, and bracelet are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts. They are appreciated as accessible entry‑level Seiko 5 pieces that combine dependable mechanics, late‑1990s charm, and a refined monochrome look that feels more upscale than their price suggests.
