Our love for vintage Seiko affordables knows no bounds, and this “5” model from June of ‘71 is all the reasons why. The case is a beveled tonneau with crisp corners and a wide flat bezel. Beneath it sits a stunning, cobalt blue sunburst dial with a glossy lacquer finish. It’s topped with polished monument markers, and framed by a metallic blue chapter ring with luminous at the hours and hashed minutes. The hour and minute hands are polished batons that are easily legible at a glance, and the day/date window sports a polished applied frame. It encapsulates the unmatched value attached to the applied “5” badge, and looks just as great as it performs. It’s unpolished and completely original aside from a replacement crystal, and post service, the 21j automatic is keeping near perfect time. We’ve paired it with an olive suede leather that showcases the dial, and offers a versatile combo that’s unbeatable for entry level vintage Seiko. Whether you’re looking to add your first watch, or put some color in your rotation, this bright blue beauty will not disappoint.
