Product Description The Seiko 5 (Ref. 7S26‑0440) is a timeless automatic wristwatch that distills Seiko’s everyday reliability into a clean, modern dress‑casual style. Its sunburst silver dial with applied baton hour markers, slim silver hands, and a framed day‑date window at 3 o’clock offers excellent legibility and a refined look that pairs effortlessly with both business and weekend outfits. The angular stainless‑steel case, discreet 4 o’clock crown, and matching bracelet give the watch a strong yet understated wrist presence while remaining comfortable for daily wear.​ Historical and Collector Significance At its heart, the 7S26‑0440 houses Seiko’s 21‑jewel 7S26 automatic movement, a proven workhorse beating at 21,600 vph with a power reserve of around 40 hours, valued for its durability and smooth, low‑maintenance operation. Introduced in the mid‑1990s as part of the modern Seiko 5 line, this reference showcases Seiko’s focus on robust everyday automatics with day‑date display and practical water resistance (no longer guaranteed for a vintage watch), all packaged in a versatile mid‑size case that suits contemporary tastes. Well‑kept 7S26‑0440 examples with original dial, hands, and factory bracelet, such as this piece, are sought after by enthusiasts as affordable Seiko 5 watches that deliver dependable mechanics, clean design, and the charm of a classic automatic daily wearer. ​ Details Brand: Seiko Model: Seiko 5 Reference number: 7S26‑0440 Serial number: 360097 Movement: Automatic Day display: English and Spanish Case dimensions: approx. 38 mm (excluding crown) Bracelet material: Stainless steel Wrist size adjustment: The buckle’s micro‑adjustment holes allow length adjustment from approximately 17.2 cm to 18.8 cm; it is currently set to 18 cm (maximum length).
