Item specifics
| Condition | Pre-owned - Excellent: The watch is present... Read more The watch is presented in honest, true vintage condition, with a strict adherence to preserving its originality without any identity-altering polishing: Case: The square stainless steel case is completely unpolished. It has not undergone any aftermarket buffing, ensuring it firmly retains its sharp geometric angles, original factory lines, and base finishing. It exhibits honest surface scratches and marks that document its age and history, adding greatly to its authentic vintage appeal. Dial & Crystal: The dial showcases distinct, heavy aging and a natural "patina" across its entire surface, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors who appreciate genuine vintage character (tropical dial). The original straight-edged square crystal bears visible surface scratches resulting from normal, careful use over the decades. Caseback: The caseback is in excellent condition and fastens securely. All original factory engravings are crisp and clearly legible, including the highly sought-after "WATERPROOF" designation (typical of pre-1970s Seiko models), the reference number (6119-5000), and the serial number (9N2749). Movement: The original automatic movement is running efficiently and keeping time. Bracelet: Comes fitted with a vintage folded-link stainless steel bracelet whose design perfectly complements the strong geometric, square profile of the case Show less | Brand | Seiko |
