Seiko's UFO Sport Divers from the late 60's and 70's offer big and bold diver styling with pounds of vintage appeal. The UFO moniker comes from the “saucer” shaped style of the case, and it has long been a favorite of vintage seiko collectors. This example from April of ‘73 is a stunner. The pumpkin orange dial is flawless, free of any staining or color fade. The luminous markers are free of discoloration and have developed a light and even cream patina. The inner bezel is a glossy black "count up" style that rotates freely in either direction via the crown. The lengthy polished batons are easily legible, though there is some light oxidation present around the luminous windows. The tapered sweep has faded from orange to a golden yellow, but is free of any chipping or paint loss. The factory circular brush finish on the case is still visible and it’s topped with a polished edge bezel with flat black inlay. It comes attached to the original double-hinged block link bracelet for a seamless finish that’s comfortable on the wrist. It’s unpolished and completely original aside from a replacement crystal, and post service is keeping near perfect time. Versatile appeal and a work horse calibre come together in a classic sport diver that’s as robust as it is reliable.
