Seiko Rainbow, Ref. 7009-316A, Cal. 7009, Men’s Automatic Watch
A five-colour rainbow arc above 6 gives this Seiko Rainbow watch from 1982, reference 7009-316A, its distinctive dial identity. Black printed markers and a fine inner 24-hour scale surround the matte white surface, with luminous black-framed hands. Automatic caliber 7009 powers the 36.5 mm steel case, joined to its original three-piece-link integrated bracelet.
Matte white with a red-to-blue rainbow arc
The clean matte white dial has black printed hour markers and a fine inner 24-hour scale. Above 6, the arc combines vivid red, orange, yellow, green and blue. The colours contrast with the monochrome markings, making the motif a distinct part of the display.
Baton-style hour and minute hands have black framing and luminous inlays. A slim black central seconds hand follows the same dark treatment without distracting from the coloured arc. The watch has a day-date complication alongside its time display.
Brushed steel, polished chamfers and flush signed crown
The stainless steel case measures 36.5 mm in diameter and 42 mm from lug to lug. A brushed top contrasts with polished chamfered edges and a slim polished bezel. The narrow rim leaves the dial prominent within the modest case size.
The original Seiko-signed crown sits at 4, recessed flush with the case. Its position keeps the head unobtrusive and reduces accidental adjustment.
The original integrated stainless steel bracelet has three-piece links, with brushed outer surfaces and polished central sections. The attachment continues the case’s surface contrast, preserving the cohesive head-and-bracelet form.
Automatic 7009 and original used condition
This automatic watch uses Seiko caliber 7009 for mechanical timekeeping and day-date. Its model specification is 21 jewels.
The bright arc and integrated metal design retain this early-1980s watch’s appearance. The white ground and fine black scales keep the coloured motif separate from the main readings.
This watch is in excellent used condition and retains all original components, including its dial, hands, crown and bracelet. It is fully serviced and fully operational, with a 12-month warranty included. Worldwide shipping is available.
