Seiko 5 7S26 8760 Men’s Automatic Dress Vintage Watch, 1996

Deep blue texture and gold-tone furniture define the Seiko 5 watch from 1996, reference 7S26 8760. Its framed day-date display is set within a 38 mm steel case, paired with the original Jubilee-style bracelet. Luminous dauphine hands and a recessed crown accompany automatic caliber 7S26, with the original dial, hands, case and bracelet retained.

Textured blue face and gold-tone details

The dial has a deep blue textured surface reminiscent of guilloché finishing. That resemblance describes its appearance rather than establishing a particular engraving technique. Applied golden baton markers and a matching Seiko 5 emblem contrast with the blue background.

A framed day-date aperture at 3 brings both calendar indications into the main dial. The gold-tone hour and minute hands have dauphine-style shapes and luminous inserts, accompanied by a slim gold seconds hand. Their angular forms stand out against the textured surface.

Original Jubilee-style steel attachment

The stainless steel case combines brushed and polished surfaces. It measures 38 mm across and 42 mm from lug to lug, giving a fairly broad face within a compact overall span. The recessed crown at 4 remains close to the head, maintaining its discreet profile.

The original stainless steel Jubilee-style bracelet has polished inner links and brushed outer links. Its mixed finishes continue the case’s treatment around the wrist, and the retained bracelet is central to the dress watch’s complete steel appearance.

Caliber 7S26 and the Seiko 5 line

This automatic watch uses Seiko caliber 7S26, a 21-jewel movement operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, or 3 Hz. It has neither manual winding nor hacking seconds, limitations relevant to winding and precise seconds setting. No numerical accuracy result is claimed for this example.

The Seiko 5 line began in 1963 and continued its accessible mechanical approach into the 1990s. On this watch, the blue texture, golden furniture and original Jubilee-style attachment give that established format a distinct dress character.

This example is in excellent used condition, fully serviced and fully operational. Its original dial, hands, case and bracelet are retained. It comes with a 12-month warranty, and worldwide shipping is available.
