Seiko 5 7S26-3040 Men’s Automatic Dress Vintage Watch, 1996

Applied golden circular indices distinguish the navy dial of the Seiko 5 watch from 1996, reference 7S26-3040. Gilt baton hands and a framed day-date window sit within a polished tonneau-shaped steel case measuring 37 mm across. The original steel bracelet continues the case’s lines, with automatic caliber 7S26 inside and a recessed crown at 4.

Navy dial and circular gold-tone furniture

The navy blue face carries applied golden circular hour indices, a different visual form from the straight baton hands. A gold-tone Seiko 5 emblem and understated AUTOMATIC lettering complete the dial’s inscriptions.

The framed day-date display is positioned at 3. The gilt baton hour and minute hands contain luminous inlays, while a fine gold seconds hand sweeps across the dial. Its motion conveys the mechanical time display without establishing a numerical accuracy result.

Polished tonneau head and original steel bracelet

The stainless steel case has a polished tonneau outline, measuring 37 mm across and 42 mm from lug to lug. Its curved lines give the dress watch a defined, shaped surround for the navy face while retaining a compact overall span.

The recessed crown at 4 stays close to the case profile. That placement reduces projection from the head rather than adding another prominent element to the steel outline.

The original stainless steel bracelet has an integrated appearance and combines polished and brushed surfaces. A secure folding clasp completes the attachment, keeping the mixed finishes continuous with the shaped head.

Japan-made 7S26 and documented overhaul

This automatic watch uses Seiko’s Japan-made caliber 7S26, operating at a model beat rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour. Its nominal power reserve is around 40 hours; that figure describes the caliber rather than a current measured running duration.

The Seiko 5 line continued offering accessible mechanical watches through the 1990s. This example gives that practical format a particular visual identity through its navy dial, circular golden markers and curved polished case.

The movement has been overhauled and is described as running precisely, without a quantified daily-rate measurement. This used watch is fully serviced and fully operational, retaining its original components. A 12-month warranty is included, and worldwide shipping is available.
