When is comes to dial layout, few can top the crisp contrast of a clean and understated Arabic format. Typically associated with military purposes, they are highly legible minimalist timepieces that offer classic style and timeless design. This 7009 from Seiko’s Daini division is a perfect example. Produced in December of ‘77, it features a silver sunburst dial with a glossy lacquered finish on which large black Arabic numerals in a clean modern font, have been printed. At the three o’clock position is a framed day/date window, both of which can be quickset via the crown; pressing inward to advance the day, and rotating counter-clockwise in the second position for the date. The case architecture is classic Seiko with smooth lines, sharp angles, and a contoured curvature that provides great comfort on the wrist. It’s unpolished and completely original aside from a replacement crystal. In keeping with its crisp, casual demeanor, we’ve paired it with a soft gray suede with full white stitching that provides a supple and comfortable fit and finish. At 37mm, it offers versatility and plenty of eye catching presence. A classic vintage affordable that’s sure to be a fast favorite wherever it lands.
