Description
Vintage Seiko 5 Automatic Day-Date — Black Dial, Spanish Calendar 1980s. Tonneau case in stainless steel on the matching jubilee-style bracelet. Dial underneath is unmarked, case retains its finish with only light handling marks, jubilee bracelet sound and on the watch with no stretch. A vintage Seiko 5 Automatic day-date in the Spanish-calendar variant — MIE for Miércoles / Wednesday, from Seiko's Latin American market run. Black dial with applied stick indices and lume centers, day-date at 3, SEIKO with the 5 shield at 12 and AUTOMATIC at 6. Tonneau case in stainless steel on the matching jubilee-style bracelet. The dial: Matte black with applied stick indices that catch the light cleanly, lume-cell centers, and a white outer minute track for legibility. The dial itself is unmarked and in great shape under the crystal. The Spanish-day calendar: MIE for Miércoles / Wednesday — the day window cycles through Spanish-abbreviated weekdays rather than English or Kanji. Latin American market production, the kind of variant that hits well in the right search. The case and bracelet: Stainless steel tonneau / cushion case with the jubilee-style five-link bracelet — both in great overall shape with only light handling marks. The watch wears its 30-40 years quietly. Condition: The crystal is in rough shape — heavily scratched from years of regular wear; replacement is straightforward (the Seiko 5 used standard mineral / Hardlex crystals that any watchmaker can swap). Dial underneath is unmarked, case retains its finish with only light handling marks, jubilee bracelet sound and on the watch with no stretch. Otherwise great-condition vintage. For the buyer who wants a clean black-dial vintage Seiko 5 and is fine sourcing a fresh crystal — the watch under the crystal is the part that holds up over the next thirty years, and that part is in great shape here. Included: Watch on stainless jubilee-style bracelet.
