Excellent condition, original bracelet, scratch-free glass. Reliable and collectible vintage Japanese quartz watch. Model History: The Seiko SilverWave 8229-7000 is a late 1980s quartz sports watch that carries the DNA of Seiko’s earlier dive-inspired designs. While not a diver in the traditional sense, it belongs to the lineage of water-resistant daily wear watches Seiko introduced after the popularity of their earlier SilverWave and 7A-series models. Produced in December 1989, this model combines reliability with understated tool-watch aesthetics, highlighted by the high-contrast Arabic numerals and a robust stainless steel case. It was part of Seiko's effort to offer practical, legible, and affordable quartz watches as the 1990s approached.
