Seiko B137-4020 Talking Speaking LCD Digital Watch, Vintage JDM, Alarm Timer, Original Bracelet, Running


Few vintage digital watches command the immediate attention of this one. The Seiko B137-4020 is a genuine talking watch — one of Seiko's most celebrated and technically ambitious achievements from the early 1980s. When activated, this watch speaks the time aloud through the distinctive speaker grille visible across the top of the case. It is a landmark piece in the history of wearable technology, and one of the most sought-after references among serious Seiko collectors worldwide.


The case design is bold and unmistakable — a wide, horizontally oriented rectangular form dominated by the large black-framed LCD window, with the iconic dot-matrix speaker array running across the upper bezel beside the SEIKO logo. The LCD is fully functional, cycling cleanly through time display (hours, minutes, seconds), alarm mode, month and date, and countdown timer — all confirmed working and captured on video. The crown is intact and functional on the right side.


Specifications: Brand: Seiko Reference: B137-4020 Serial Number: 990641 Bracelet Lug Code: YA160 Case Back: Water Resist St. Steel / Japan F Functions: Time (12-hour with PM indicator), Alarm, Month/Date, Countdown Timer, Talking/Speaking Voice Announcement Display: LCD with black surround and speaker grille Bracelet: Original matching stainless steel ladder-link bracelet with integrated folding clasp Country of Origin: Japan No box or papers included


Condition: This watch is in honest pre-owned condition showing genuine age-consistent wear throughout. The LCD is active and fully legible, and cycles through all modes cleanly, however the alarm mode shows some LCD ghosting, which is VERY common with the B137s


The top bezel face shows notable surface scratching and scuffing around the speaker grille and case top — clearly visible in the photos and video — consistent with decades of prior wear. The case sides and crown area also show light to moderate surface marks. The bracelet shows general age wear with some oxidation on the inner surfaces of the ladder links, while the overall structure remains solid and intact. The clasp opens and closes correctly. This is a working, functional example of one of vintage horology's most iconic pieces — priced accordingly for honest condition.


Special Note: Every watch I list on eBay has been photographed extensively and videoed. This means that once the watch leaves my warehouse, it is in the same identical shape as described in the listing. All listings are AS-IS. I will not accept returns, especially on a watch that has been tampered with after delivery. If you choose to go this route, you will face overwhelming proof on my side that the watch was in the shape as described in the description, and eBay will be notified promptly to help resolve the issue.


Shipping is same day or next day. The Seiko B137 talking watch is a bucket-list piece for any serious vintage digital collector — don't let this one pass.
