1970 Seiko 7001-8009 Automatic Time Only “Field Watch” (Arabic)
From Seiko’s Daini division, this time only field watch is rugged minimalism with a militant edge. The dial is a soft ivory white, with a developing gradient patina and contrasting print. With no date aperture, it offers a clean and balanced aesthetic that's only heightened by the stenciled luminous Arabic numbers marking the hours. Over several decades, they have developed a deep green/brown patina. The hour and minute hands are polished and tapered batons that are easy to spot at a glance, and the slender sweep reaches right into the minute track. The case and lugs are one and the same with clean continuous lines on either side of a thin beveled bezel, and contouring that offers comfort on the wrist. We’ve paired it with an oiled brown suede that highlights the dial patina, and provides a versatile fit and finish. It’s unpolished and completely original aside from a replacement crystal, and post service it’s keeping near perfect time. From August of 1970, it’s an affordable head turner that's sure to be a fast favorite in any lineup.
