The watch shown is a Seiko A128-5019, it is not working I’m assuming it needs a battery. It was in my family estate and never looks like it’s been worn with original price tag
Of $125.
It’s a vintage digital quartz chronograph typically produced in the late 1970s, specifically around 1978.
Key Features and SpecificationsFunctions:
This model includes digital time (hours, minutes, seconds), a calendar showing month, day, and date, and a 12-hour chronograph (stopwatch) capable of measuring down to 1/10 of a second.
Display: It uses a Nematic Liquid Crystal, FE-Mode display. It also features a backlight for viewing in the dark.Design: The watch has a 35.5mm case diameter and typically comes with a two-tone (silver and gold) stainless steel bracelet. It is water-resistant up to roughly 20 meters (2 ATM).
Historical Context: It is considered part of Seiko's "second wave" of digital watches, which were more compact than earlier models.Operation and MaintenanceSetting the Watch: While specific button configurations can vary, most A128 movements allow for time and calendar adjustments by using a "mode" or "select" button to cycle through fields and another button to advance the digits.
Battery: It is powered by a standard digital watch battery. If the display begins flashing, it usually indicates a low battery. It needs a new battery as it does not come on and was never used . It shows a little tarnish color and I’m not sure that it can be polished as I know nothing about these watches .
Approximate Value: Depending on the condition and whether it includes the original box (as seen in your image), these vintage pieces typically sell for between $190 and $500 on the secondary market.
To find the exact production month and year of this specific piece, you can check the six-digit serial number on the case back; the first digit indicates the last digit of the year, and the second digit indicates the month is what I have been told .
