Fully functional and elegant Seikomatic classic with new crystal and new strap. Offered with a 3-month functionality guarantee. Model History: The Seiko 6218-8971 is part of the early Seikomatic Weekdater family - a line of premium automatic watches introduced in the mid-1960s to emphasize both everyday practicality and refined design. Powered by the high-grade Seiko 6218 movement with 35 jewels, this model offered superior accuracy, a full day-date function, and was considered a serious alternative to Swiss contemporaries of the time. The Weekdater was designed for professionals who valued both precision and elegance, and it remains a favorite among collectors for its understated charm and mechanical quality.
