► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko 5 5126-8110 men’s automatic watch, a Japan Domestic Market (JDM) model produced in 1969. Powered by Seiko’s respected 5126 automatic movement with 23 jewels, this early Seiko 5 represents an important period in the company’s history and features a desirable bilingual English and Kanji day-date display. The watch is running, holding accurate time, and is fully wearable. The quick-set date function is operational. When the crown is pushed in after setting the date, it does not return fully to its normal position on its own and requires a slight pull to re-seat properly. Aside from this minor issue, the watch functions properly and can be worn and enjoyed as intended. All parts of the watch are original, including the original Seiko 5 signed bracelet. The watch has signs of use and age consistent with a worn vintage watch. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.

► ARCHIVE FILE: SEIKO — BRAND HISTORY

Seiko begins with Kintaro Hattori, who opened a shop selling and repairing clocks in Tokyo's Ginza district in 1881, at the age of twenty-one. He founded the Seikosha factory in 1892 to manufacture wall clocks, built Japan's first wristwatch, the Laurel, in 1913, and put the Seiko name on a dial for the first time in 1924. By mid-century his successors ran one of the most vertically integrated watch companies on earth, making everything from hairsprings to cases under its own roof.
