FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A SUPER FUNKY 1974 SEIKO ELNIX SG 0723-7000 MADE FOR THE JAPANESE MARKET.
-
CASE: SCIENCE FICTION ALL STEEL CASE IN MINTY CONDITION. SHE MEASURES A NICE 36.8mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 40mm LUG TO LUG. THE CASE ON THIS ONE IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION AND EXTREMELY WELL FINISHED WITH ALL THE SHARP FACETS. REALLY NICE BRUSHING ON THE TOP OF THE CASE AND POLISHED SIDES. THIS ONE LOOKS FACTORY FRESH. CHECK OUT THE JAPANESE PERSONALIZATION ON THE CASEBACK.

DIAL: WHAT A LOOKER!!! ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CAPTURE THAT DIAL FINISH IN PICS. IT'S GOT A SUBLTE WAVY RIDGED TEXTURE ON THAT SILVER FACE WHICH GIVES THIS ONE AN ULTRA-SUAVE SHEEN. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BLACK/STEEL APPLIED MARKERS WHICH MATCH UP WELL WITH THOSE GROOVY SANDWICH LAYERED HANDS. CHECK OUT THAT GROOVY GOLD ELNIX APPLIED LOGO AT 6. THE KANJI DAY WHEEL IS A NICE TOUCH.

MOVEMENT: THIS SEIKO IS POWERED BY A 16 JEWEL 0723 WHICH WAS A TRANSITIONAL MOVEMENT FOR THE COMPANY BETWEEN MECHANICAL AND QUARTZ CALIBERS. THIS ONE USES A BATTERY AND TRANSISTORS TO REGULATE A BEATING BALANCE WHEEL, SO YOU STILL GET THE SMOOTH TICKING SWEEP WITH THE HASSLE FREE BATTERY OPERATION..
THIS JAPANESE ROBOTIC BEAUTY IS MOUNTED ON WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE ORIGINAL ALL STEEL SEIKO BRACELET. CLASP HAS A SPRINGLOADED EXTENDER. THIS ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIT UP TO A 7.75" WRIST. THIS IS SEIKO AT ITS BEST. INNOVATIVE, FUNKY, AND REALLY WELL FINISHED.
