Offered here is a Seiko World Timer ref. 5T52-6A29, a multi-function quartz model from the late 1980s featuring world time tracking, alarm functionality, and a distinctive multi-register dial layout. These pieces reflect Seiko’s push during the quartz era to combine practical complications with accessible design.

Based on the serial number (8D0181), this example dates to December 1988. The watch features a warm gold-tone case paired with a champagne dial, outer city ring, and multiple subdials for GMT and alarm functions — a layout that captures the design language of late-80s travel watches.

The watch is currently running and keeping time. Time and date functions operate as expected. The pusher at 10:00 correctly advances the GMT hand. The alarm can be engaged and adjusted via the crown at 4:00. The additional pushers (2:00 and 8:00) do not appear to be functioning and operation of this movement can be nuanced. Please review details below.
