Seiko 7006-5000, Cal. 7006, Men’s Dress Vintage Watch, 1973
A white central seconds hand stands out against the deep matte blue dial of this Seiko 7006-5000 watch from 1973. Slim silver dauphine hands and applied silver-tone markers accompany a framed day-date at 3. The 38 mm steel case combines polished top surfaces with vertically brushed sides, retaining its original bracelet and powered by automatic caliber 7006.
Deep matte blue and preserved original hands
The deep matte blue dial has little additional decoration, leaving its surface colour prominent. Applied silver-tone indices accompany the framed day-date window at 3, giving the calendar a defined position within the restrained layout.
Slim silver dauphine hour and minute hands follow the applied furniture. A contrasting white central seconds hand adds a distinct moving indication against the blue. The hands are well preserved, free from corrosion and retain their original factory finish.
Polished top, brushed sides and original bracelet
The stainless steel case has a slim profile, straight lugs and a thin bezel. Polished upper surfaces contrast with vertical brushing on the sides. It measures 38 mm across and 41 mm from lug to lug, with a 22 mm fitting.
The original unsigned stainless steel crown is positioned at 3. Its modest proportions suit the slim case, providing setting access without a prominent projection.
The original, period-correct stainless steel bracelet accompanies the brushed and polished head. It closes with a folding clasp, retaining the watch as a complete metal design with its factory attachment.
Crown-push date adjustment and automatic 7006
This automatic watch is powered by Japan-made Seiko caliber 7006, providing timekeeping and calendar display. Its model specifications are 17 jewels and 21,600 vibrations per hour. A quick-set date function is operated by pushing the crown, allowing date adjustment without advancing the main hands through full days.
The matte blue dial and slim steel profile retain this early-1970s watch’s restrained dress design. Its visual character comes from the surface finishes and contrasting seconds hand rather than a heavily decorated display.
This used example is in excellent vintage condition, with original dial, hands, crown, case and bracelet. It is fully serviced by a professional watchmaker and fully operational. A 12-month warranty is included, with worldwide shipping in secure, protective packaging.
