Seiko A239-5020 World Time LCD Digital Vintage Watch, Original Box, 34.2mm, Working Display, Japan Import This is a remarkable example of vintage Seiko digital engineering — the A239-5020 "World Time," one of the most feature-packed LCD watches Seiko produced in the early 1980s. Powered by the A239 module, this watch offered travelers and executives an unprecedented suite of functions at a time when the quartz revolution was reshaping watchmaking. The bold rectangular stainless steel case houses a sophisticated black dial displaying simultaneous world time zones across major cities — HNL, LAX, DEN, CHI, NYC, CCS, RIO, LON/GMT, PAR/ROM, CAI, MOW, DXB, KHI, DEL, BKK, HKG, TYO, and SYD — along with Home Time Alarm, World Time Alarm, Day-of-Week calendar, DST adjustment, and backlight. The iconic louvered case top and architectural profile remain distinctly 1980s Japan at its finest. The watch comes presented in its original Seiko-branded box, a major plus for collectors. Specifications: Case diameter 34.2mm (confirmed via digital calipers in photos). Case thickness approximately 8.9mm. Original stainless steel bracelet marked XGA950L. Case back marked Water Resist Stainless Steel Japan A A239-5020. Module reference A239-5000T. All functions confirmed operational. Condition: This watch is vintage and pre-owned, and buyers should understand it is being sold accordingly. The LCD display is active and fully functional across all modes. The case and bracelet show honest wear commensurate with their age — light surface scratches are visible on the case back, and the lower bezel surround at the "World Time" nameplate shows some black paint loss and edge wear at the corners. The dial itself presents well, with no deep gouges or damage. The bracelet retains good link integrity. This is not a mint or NOS piece — it is a genuine survivor in honest, functional vintage condition. Overall grade: Good to Very Good for age. Please review all photos carefully before purchasing. The watch ships same day or within 1 business day of cleared payment. Special Note: Every watch listed in this store has been photographed extensively and videoed prior to shipment.
