Seiko Vintage Quartz Watch from 1974 with Original Battery Replaced
This is a vintage Seiko quartz wristwatch manufactured around 1974 at the Kameido Factory (Second Seiko). It features the early high-end quartz movement Cal.0823, with a 9-jewel mechanism operating at 32,768Hz, and includes a day-date calendar function. The case diameter is approximately 36mm, with a beautifully textured dial that resembles snow crystals or Japanese paper, finished with a brushed surface. The watch has a durable one-piece case design, with a separate hatch for battery replacement, characteristic of early quartz models.
Condition:
This model is part of Seiko's early quartz line, produced during the initial surge of quartz technology following the 1969 debut of the world's first quartz watch, the Astron. It was a high-priced luxury item at the time, retailing for 57,000 yen, equivalent to a premium product today. The watch is a collectible piece, representing Seiko's pioneering efforts in quartz watchmaking.
Please note: The watch has some scratches and signs of use, and the strap shows wear. No guarantee or warranty is included.
