Seiko Military 1978 — First impression - 7009-9000

The Seiko Military Ref. 7009-9000 from 1978 presents a bold yet utilitarian design, reflecting the Japanese horology heritage of functional tool watches. Its PVD-coated stainless steel cushion case and matte black dial with luminous Arabic numerals exude a rugged military aesthetic. The automatic Cal. 7009 movement ensures dependable performance, while the original components and professional servicing make this example a collectible piece suitable for everyday wear.

Seiko Military - Matte Black Arabic Numeral Dial

The dial features a deep matte black finish, full Arabic numerals in a warm aged-lume tone, and a crisp minute track on the rehaut. Luminous plots adjacent to each numeral provide legibility in low light, complemented by a framed day–date aperture at 3 o’clock.

Military 7009-9000 - Hands

Slim baton-style hands with luminous fill pair with a slender central seconds hand to enhance precision time reading. The lume matches the dial markers for a cohesive, vintage look.

Seiko Military 7009-9000 - Cushion PVD Stainless Steel Case

The rounded cushion case measures 39 mm across, constructed from stainless steel with a durable black PVD coating. Its brushed surfaces retain their original tool-watch charm, showing only light wear appropriate for its age.

Military 7009-9000 - Crown

The small, fluted crown at 4 o’clock preserves the watch’s streamlined profile. Typical of Seiko’s military designs of the era, it is practical, easy to operate, and unobtrusive.

Seiko Military NATO Strap

Fitted with a modern black NATO-style nylon strap, the watch is comfortable, lightweight, and ready for immediate wear. The stainless hardware complements the watch’s stealthy aesthetic.

Seiko Cal. 7009 Automatic Movement

Inside beats the Seiko Cal. 7009 automatic movement, a 21-jewel, 21,600 vph (3 Hz) workhorse renowned for reliability and ease of service. This non-hacking, non-hand-wind caliber powers the day–date complication and stands as a testament to late-1970s Japanese mechanical watchmaking.

Heritage of the Seiko Military in the 1970s

Seiko’s military-inspired watches of the late 1970s bridged civilian and field-ready designs, offering robust durability in a stylish package. The Ref. 7009-9000’s PVD-coated case was a progressive choice for the time, combining stealthy aesthetics with scratch resistance. It remains a sought-after collectible for enthusiasts of Japanese tool watches.

I ordered a vintage Omega watch and I am happy with my purchase. Communication was nice and helpful, package was shipped the closest working day and came on time - shipment was for free also.The watch is in a great condition, with nice new strap. I will buy again here for sure, the offer of watches is really great.

It took a lot of time for the package to be delivered and I still do not know if our email exchange was successful. However I received my watch as advertised and at a good price so I have no complaints in the end. These Serbs are even kind enough to save you some import taxes, so really they did me a solid.

Alexandros Sakogiannis

I thought the condition shown was almost too good to be true, but the watch is actually original as pictured and running accurately so far. I really want to emphasize the condition was immaculate for a vintage Omega. They also saved me on import fees into my country. I was really happy and surprised about that and it shows a lot of care. It’s a rare thing that I always commend shippers for.

Excellent Company to deal with. Very good web site, easy to navigate as well. Prices are very fair and photographs of watches excellent.The condition of my vintage Tissot was as good as it is possible with a pre-owned watch and the packing was VERY carefully and neatly done - my thanks to Marija? who sent the package.Prompt and courteous reply to my email - and many thanks for a great watch. Hope to deal with them in the near future.
