Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko Alarm Chronograph men’s digital sports watch, reference A547-500B, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the early 1980s. This model represents Seiko’s golden era of multifunction digital watchmaking, combining a clean, angular case design with practical everyday features and excellent build quality.
This example is a corporate presentation watch, as indicated by the original Japanese engraving on the caseback. The engraving translates to “20 Years of Service Commemoration” and “Tokyo Organic Chemical”, signifying that this watch was awarded to an employee in recognition of twenty years of service. These long-service commemorative Seikos were produced in limited quantities and were not available through retail channels, adding to their collectibility.
The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions operate properly, including the alarm, chronograph, timer, and timekeeping functions.
The watch is fitted with an aftermarket stainless steel bracelet. The case and bracelet show signs of use and age, consistent with a vintage timepiece, and the photos best describe its physical condition.

► 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.
