Seiko 7T32-7E70

The Seiko 7T32-7E70 is a stunning and quite rare 39mm military style quartz chronograph, powered by the Seiko 7T32 quartz movement. Unlike many other military style watches, this one has a real military pedigree in the form of the Seiko Gen 1 and Gen 2 quartz chronographs supplied to the UK MoD as the standard aircrew issue chronographs between 1984-2000, and to which it bears a strong resemblance (the Gen 2 in particular).

The 7T32 movement is part of the same family as the 7T27 fitted to the Seiko Gen 2,. It retains the same chronograph functions, but the 24hr indicator is deleted, the running seconds is moved to the '9' sub-register and teh '6' register is home to the time setting fro the alarm feature, which utilises a piezoelectric buzzer inside the case back.

This example is in near mint condition and has been the subject of a recent case service as detailed in the condition report and has a new green fabric strap with Seiko buckle.
