FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A SUPER FRESH SEPTEMBER 1967 SEIKO BELLMATIC 4006-7010 ALARM WATCH RUNNING ON THE HIGHER GRADE 27 JEWEL MOVEMENT.
-
CASE: ROBUST ALL STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. SHE MEASURES A SOLID 38.5mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 43mm LUG TO LUG. NO EVIDENCE OF POLISHING ON THIS WELL PRESERVED CASE. CHECK OUT THOSE SHARP LINES ON THOSE MUSCULAR CHAMFERS. THIS CASE HAS A LOT OF THE SAME DESIGN LANGUAGE FOUND ON THE LEGENDARY 300M SEIKO 6159-7000 FROM AROUND THE SAME TIME PERIOD.
-
DIAL: SIMPLY STUNNING. CLEAR, CLASSIC, AND NO NONSENSE....THE WAY SEIKO DOES IT THE BEST. CHECK OUT THAT SILVER SUNBURST DIAL WITH THE APPLIED ONYX/STEEL MARKERS WHICH MAKES FOR A LEGIBLE TIME CHECKING EXPERIENCE. SUPER CLEAN BLACK/STEEL DAGGER HANDSET IS HANDSOME. THE INTERNAL ROTATING ALARM INDICATOR TRIANGLE LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN REPAINTED AT SOME POINT, BUT OTHERWISE THIS FACE IS IN IMPRESSIVE AND ALL ORIGINAL CONDITION.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS SEIKO IS POWERED BY THE HIGH GRADE CALIBER 4006 27 JEWEL AUTOMATIC ALARM MOVEMENT WHICH IS KEEPING TIME AND ALL FUNCTIONS WORK GREAT INCLUDING THAT LOVELY ALARM MECHANISM. I’M NOT SURE THE SERVICE HISTORY, BUT IT'S A STRONG RUNNER WITH A MELLIFLUOUS BUZZ ON THAT ALARM.
THIS CLASSIC COMES MOUNTED ON WHAT IS MOST LIKELY THE ORIGINAL SEIKO COFFIN LINK BRACELET. BRACELET CAN ACCOMMODATE A 7 3/4” WRIST. IN MY OPINION, THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST SOPHISTICATED CALIBERS IN THE WATCH MARKET. THIS REFERENCE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BELLMATICS WITH THAT HUNKY CASE AND GORGEOUS SUNBURST DIAL. EVERY GOOD COLLECTION NEEDS AN ALARM WATCH, AND THE BELLMATICS ARE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.
