Vintage Seiko SQ Quartz 8223-508A - Dark blue TV Dial Day/Date (1981)
Up for sale is a classic piece of Japanese watchmaking history: the vintage Seiko SQ Quartz, reference number 8223-508A. Manufactured in January 1981 (based on the serial number 114036), this timepiece perfectly captures the retro aesthetic of the early 80s with its distinctive "TV-shaped" stainless steel case and sleek integrated bracelet design.
The watch features a dark blue dial that contrasts beautifully with the silver-tone baton indices and hands. A highly practical day and date window is positioned at the 3 o'clock mark, making it a perfect daily wearer for vintage enthusiasts.
Mechanical Condition:
This watch is in excellent working condition. It has been tested and is keeping accurate time. The quartz movement is running strongly, and all functions—including the quick-set day and date complications—are operating smoothly and perfectly as intended.
Cosmetic Condition:
As a genuine vintage timepiece, it shows honest signs of previous use. The solid stainless steel case and original bracelet exhibit normal signs of age.
A fantastic, fully functional vintage Seiko that is ready to be worn or serves as a great candidate for a simple crystal replacement project.
