The watch A lovely example of early 1960s Japanese watchmaking. The Seiko Champion 850 was introduced in 1963 as part of Seiko's affordable range of mechanical watches. Despite its relatively modest position in the Seiko catalogue, there's plenty to appreciate here. The silver sunburst dial features beautifully finished applied hour markers, sharp dauphine hands and a touch of blue in the 'Water 30 Proof' inscription. A simple, well-balanced design that has aged remarkably well.
The stainless steel case is in very good vintage condition, showing some scratches and signs of use accumulated over the past six decades. The dial is particularly well preserved, with only minor signs of ageing. Turn the watch over and you'll find the charming Seiko seahorse emblem engraved on the caseback, a reminder of its original water-resistant construction.
Details Inside is Seiko's 17-jewel calibre 850, a hand-wound mechanical movement that has been serviced and is running well. A watch from a time when winding your watch every morning was simply part of the daily routine.
