Seiko Seikomatic-R 8305-8010

This 1968 Seiko Seikomatic-R, reference 8305-8010, combines a light champagne sunburst dial with polished dauphine hands and a bright gold-plated case. Automatic caliber 8305 has 30 jewels and a date display. The compact 35 mm watch retains original components and is fitted with black lizard-grain leather.

Champagne sunburst and faceted dauphine hands

A fine radial finish gives the pale champagne dial its changing tone. Applied baton markers, a crisp minute track and an applied SEIKO logotype keep the layout clear. The date at 3 has a sharply defined metal frame.

Polished dauphine hour and minute hands have faceted planes that catch the light alongside the angular markers. A slim central seconds hand completes the display. The clean dial retains sharp indices and discreet, intact printing.

Gloss gold plating and tapered lugs

The steel case has a gloss gold-plated finish, with a bright even sheen around the slim bezel and tapered lugs. It measures 35 mm in diameter and 40 mm from lug to lug, with an 18 mm fitting. Those compact dimensions keep the watch discreet beneath a cuff.

A slightly domed crystal follows the case’s period profile. Its material is not specified. The coin-edge crown at 3 provides grip for time and date setting, and operates correctly.

The black leather strap has a subtle lizard grain that contrasts with the warm case and pale dial. The standard lug fitting allows a different strap to be fitted; the current strap’s originality is not established.

30-jewel automatic 8305

Caliber 8305 powers this automatic watch’s hours, minutes, central seconds and date. It is fully serviced and fully operational.

The Seikomatic-R belongs to Seiko’s late-1960s development of refined automatic dress watches. This reference expresses that approach through its light dial, narrow bezel and clear calendar, without adding extra complications.

The watch is used, with an attractive plated finish and preserved original watch-head components. Its clean dial and correctly operating crown remain central condition details. A 12-month warranty is included, with fully insured worldwide shipping and professional packing available.
