Seiko 5 7009-3040 NOS

The watch
In immaculate unpolished condition. If you look closely, you can find some minor damage due to storage, but overall, it’s in super clean new old stock condition.

The bracelet shows some scuff marks where it makes contact with the end link and the caseback has a few minor scratches. The day can be displayed in English or Spanish.

Details
The ‘5’ in Seiko 5 stands for 5 principles or features: automatic winding, a day/date display, water resistance (however, please don’t go swimming wearing this watch), a recessed crown and a durable case and bracelet.

The 7009 movement was produced somewhere between 1977 and 1996 and is a solid movement, also used in the first edition of the SNXJ-series. The date can be quickset by pulling the crown one step; the day can be advanced by pressing the crown.
