Seiko A708-5000 World Time Vintage Digital Watch, Gold-Tone, Box & Papers. Seiko A708-5000 World Time Vintage Digital Watch, Gold-Tone, Original Box & Instructions, 38.7mm You are looking at a genuine piece of Japanese digital watch history — the Seiko A708-5000 World Time, one of Seiko's most iconic and collectible LCD digital references from the late 1970s to early 1980s. Featuring a world time complication that displays 29 major cities across all time zones directly on the dial, this watch was a marvel of miniaturized technology when it debuted and remains a grail piece for serious vintage digital collectors worldwide. The cream/gold-toned dial printed with city names spanning every continent — from Rio de Janeiro and Honolulu to Tokyo, Moscow, and Sydney — gives this watch an unmistakable presence that no modern smartwatch can replicate. The case back is marked A708-5000, with a stainless steel back and base metal gold-toned case, serial number 451911, water resistant, Made in Japan. This example comes complete with its original Seiko presentation box and original A708 instruction booklet in Japanese and English — an increasingly rare find that significantly enhances its collector value. Dimensions, as measured in the photos: case width 38.7mm, case thickness 10.5mm. The bracelet fits a wrist of approximately 7 inches as shown on the sizing cone in the photos. The original gold-tone integrated bracelet with Seiko-signed clasp is present and intact. Condition The watch is in excellent overall condition for its age, with the LCD module running and displaying time, world time city selection, and day/date functions properly. The gold-tone case shows light wear and minor surface marks consistent with a vintage piece of this era — no deep gouges or significant damage observed. The crystal is present and shows light surface wear. The bracelet retains strong gold-tone finish with light surface wear throughout. Important Note on Module Behavior: Buyers should be aware that on some occasions when the lower right button (Light/Set function) is pressed, the module can behave erratically. This is a well-documented characteristic of the A708 module and is quite common among surviving examples of this reference. All other functions — timekeeping, world time city selection, day, and date — are operating normally. This is disclosed fully and transparently as part of this listing. Shipping is same day or next business day, packaged with extreme care. #Seiko, #A708, #SeikA708, #WorldTime, #SeikоDigital, #VintageSeiko, #VintageDigitalWatch, #JapaneseVintageWatch, #RetroWatch, #LCDWatch, #SeikоCollector, #DigitalWatchCollector, #1970sWatch, #1980sWatch, #GoldToneWatch, #SeikоWorldTime, #VintageJapan, #WatchCollector, #WristWatch, #SeikоVintage All listings are AS-IS. I have made every effort possible to describe the item in this listing accurately. All the items I sell are authentic and in working order unless otherwise noted as parts. By bidding on this item, you completely accept these terms. I pack items I sell extremely well. I make no statement whatsoever about support for watch function after the item has left my warehouse. In addition, every watch that I list on eBay has been photographed extensively and been videoed. This means that once the watch leaves my warehouse, it is in the same identical shape as described in the listing. I will not take back a watch and return especially one that has been tampered with previously nor falsely declaring that a watch is not working, when the proof says otherwise. Do not leave negative feedback as a means of leverage over me. I will willingly work with every buyer to assist with issues that arise, or if by chance a 30- or 40-year old vintage watch decided to be unstable. If you choose to leave negative feedback as a means of gaining leverage over me to mischaracterize the accuracy of the listing, you will face overwhelming proof on my side that the item listed was in the shape as described in the description and I WILL CONTACT eBAY WITH OVERWHELMING PROOF THAT THE ITEM WAS ACCURATELY DESCRIBED AT THE TIME OF THE LISTING.
