FOR SALE IS A STRIKING 1962 SEIKOMATIC J13044 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
CASE: NEAR MINT LARGE SOLID STEEL CASE MEASURING A NICE 37mm BY 45mm LUG TO LUG. SUCH A SIMPLE AND ELEGANT DESIGN WITH THE THIN BEZEL AND SLIM PROFILE. BUT, FOR A WATCH OF THIS ERA IT IS QUITE LARGE AND WEARS NICELY DUE TO THAT THIN BEZEL/WIDE DIAL AND THAT LONG LUG TO LUG LENGTH. CHECK OUT THE FACTORY ORIGINAL FINISH ON THIS WITH THAT COOL VERTICAL BRUSHING ON THE SIDES, THE MIRRORED CASE TOP AND THOSE GORGEOUS FACETED LUGS. THE CASE BACK DOES HAVE SOME AGED RELATED WEAR, BUT YOU CAN STILL MAKE OUT ALL THE TEXT.
DIAL: MINIMALISM AND SIMPLICITY DEFINED AND AS CLASSY AS THEY COME. CHECK OUT THAT BEAUTIFUL SUNBURST SILVER DIAL IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH JUST A FEW MINOR AGE MARKS. I LOVE THOSE BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL APPLIED STEEL MARKERS AND THOSE PROMINENT LONG DAUPHINE HANDS. CHECK OUT THAT POP OF COLOR WITH THE "30" IN BLUE. COOL SLOPING SILVER CHAPTER RING ADDS SOME NICE DEPTH TO THE DIAL AS WELL. THIS THING IS JUST STUNNING WHEN THE SUN HITS THAT FACE.
MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON A 20 JEWEL IN-HOUSE SEIKO CAL.603 AUTOMATIC. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT THE WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME MONITORED OVER WEEKS OF ON/OFF WEAR
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A COOL VINTAGE STYLE BLUE LIZARD GRAIN STRAP WHICH MATCHES NICELY WITH THAT HINT OF BLUE ON THE DIAL. THIS IS A REALLY CLEAN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF SEIKO'S CLASSIC DESIGNS. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS MODEL IS IT COMBINES THE STYLE AND ELEGANCE OF THE EARLY 60s WATCHES IN A PACKAGE THAT WEARS MORE MODERN. YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT 60s SEIKO......OR REALLY SEIKO FROM ANY ERA.
