FOR SALE IS A STRIKING 1964 SEIKO CRONOS SELF DATER IN NICE SHAPE.
CASE: NEAR MINT LARGE SOLID STEEL CASE MEASURING A NICE 36.5mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 44mm LUG TO LUG. 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 THOSE SHARP LUGS AND ALL THEIR AWESOME CHAMFERS AND FACETS. REALLY IMPRESSIVE. CHECK OUT THAT CASEBACK WITH THAT BADASS DOLPHIN. AMAZING.
DIAL: SUCH A BOLD DIAL WITH THOSE PROMINENT APPLIED MARKERS AND THOSE LONG DAUPHINE HANDS. YOU GOTTA LOVE THE OLD SCHOOL SEIKO CURSIVE FONT. THAT SILVER SUNBURST DIAL DOES HAVE SOME VERY MINOR STAINING AND SOME TONING WHICH ACTUALLY GIVE THIS ONE SOME COOL VINTAGE VIBES.
MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON A 21 JEWEL IN-HOUSE SEIKO HAND WINDER. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN. WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. DATE IS SEMI-QUICKSET
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A COOL VINTAGE PERIOD APPROPRIATE ALL STAINLESS STEEL OYSTER STYLE BRACELET WHICH WEARS COMFY. BRACELET IS SIZED FOR MY 6.75” WRIST AND HAS 5 ADDITIONAL MICRO-ADJUSTS. 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.
