► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko Presage 7F38-6040 men’s moon phase dress watch, made for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1980s. This elegant timepiece showcases Seiko’s refined craftsmanship from the era, featuring a two-tone stainless steel case and bracelet, a moon phase indicator, and multiple subdials displaying day, date, and 24-hour time. The watch is being sold for parts or repair, as it is currently not functioning. A new battery was inserted but the watch did not operate, and it has not been tested further, so the issue is unknown and no guarantee of functionality is implied. All parts of the watch are original, including the stainless steel case, bracelet, dial, and hands. Physically, the watch remains in good vintage condition, showing signs of age and use, but overall well preserved. 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.
