Seiko 5 7S26-3170
A two-tone grey sector dial gives this 1997 Seiko 5, reference 7S26-3170, a distinct layout. Gold details outline the lighter center and frame the day-date, with automatic caliber 7S26 beneath. The 37 mm steel case retains its original signed G1435-E bracelet and a recorded wrist size of 19.5 cm.
Grey sectors and gilt details
A light central medallion sits within a darker perimeter, separated by a fine gilt ring. Baton hour markers, luminous dots and dotted minute markings organize the display. The SEIKO wordmark and 5 shield are gilt, matching the calendar frame at 3.
Gilt baton hour and minute hands have luminous centers, with a slim central seconds hand. The dial is clean and evenly toned, with intact printing and lume. Hands and markers remain sharply defined.
Original G1435-E bracelet and recessed crown
The steel case has a narrow polished bezel, brushed upper surfaces and softly shouldered flanks. A flat crystal frames the dial. At 37 mm in diameter and 41 mm from lug to lug, it has a compact span; the fitting is 18 mm.
Integrated end-links visually join the case to its original signed Seiko G1435-E bracelet. Rounded multi-links articulate smoothly and close with a folding clasp. Its recorded wrist size is 19.5 cm.
The recessed crown around 4 sits close to the case and away from the wrist. The case remains well preserved, with a clear contrast between its brushed and polished surfaces.
Self-winding 7S26 with quick-set calendar
In this automatic watch, the Japanese-made 7S26 supplies central seconds and a bilingual day-date with quick-set. Its bidirectional automatic winding system powers the movement through wrist motion. Calendar changes, setting and automatic winding operate correctly after full service.
This late-1990s watch combines the established Seiko 5 recessed crown and calendar with a more decorative sector arrangement. The original bracelet keeps the complete watch visually coherent.
The watch is used and retains its original components. It is fully serviced and fully operational, and comes with a 12-month warranty. Fully insured worldwide shipping and professional packing are available.
