Seiko 5, Ref. 7009-8761, Men's Automatic Vintage Watch, 1981

Vertical brushing and gold-tone furniture distinguish the silver dial of this Seiko 5 watch from 1981, reference 7009-8761. Its hands have black centres and golden edges, with a clear day-date window at 3. Automatic caliber 7009 sits in a 37.5 mm cushion-shaped steel case, accompanied by the original bracelet and preserved original finishes.

Silver brushing and black-centred gold hands

The dial’s fine brushing runs from 12 towards 6, giving its silver surface a directional texture that changes with wrist movement and lighting. Applied golden hour markers accompany a matching gold-tone Seiko 5 logo in the upper part of the dial. AUTOMATIC appears below the branding.

The day-date window at 3 uses black text on a white background. Black centres within the gold-edged hour and minute hands help distinguish them against the brushed silver. The minute hand extends close to the minute track, while the seconds hand moves with a smooth sweep.

Cushion steel and original linked bracelet

The stainless steel case has a cushion outline, measuring 37.5 mm across and 42 mm from lug to lug. A finely brushed top contrasts with mirror-polished sides. Its transition into the bracelet gives the head and attachment a continuous appearance.

The original steel bracelet combines brushed centre links with polished outer links. A fold-over clasp secures it, and the linked construction allows comfortable sizing adjustments.

The unadorned push-pull crown has a brushed finish, with positive engagement during time setting and smooth operation.

Caliber 7009 and quickset calendar

The automatic watch uses Seiko caliber 7009, a movement with model specifications of 21 jewels and 21,600 vibrations per hour. Its rotor winds the mainspring during wear, and the quickset system allows the day and date to be adjusted independently.

Automatic winding, time setting and both quickset calendar functions are fully operational. Shock resistance and magnetic-field protection are documented movement features; no numerical resistance rating or present-day test result is claimed.

The watch reflects the continued place of mechanical Seiko 5 models in the early 1980s, when quartz watches were increasingly prominent. Its silver brushing, contrasting gold furniture and original linked attachment give this dress watch a restrained appearance.
