This is a great example of a 70s Seiko. The watch is all original and has survived the last 52 years relatively unscathed. This is a popular model on this site but I usually have to swap out the facet crystal for a plain one as they are usually to scratched or chipped, replacements if you can find them are £50!
This watch has its original facet crystal that does have some marks on it but they are minor. The facets play with the light and add so much interest to the dial whilst remaining easy enough to read the time and date from.
I have stripped, inspected and serviced the movement and its now running well within accepted tolerances. New caseback and crown gaskets have been fitted although I do not recommend swimming or bathing with it.
Case & bracelet have been ultrasonically cleaned. Case has been lightly polished to bring back its shine. Bracelet I re-polished the centre links applied some more brushing to the outer links for contrast. Looks superb. Clasp is the original Actus one.
Movement is the 7019 which is a real workhorse movement that is very reliable. The more modern NH versions are based on this model. Its automatic only so there is no handwinding or hacking. Day date complication can be hacked. Push the crown in for the day and push out to first position and turn anticlockwise to change the date. See video in listing for a demonstration.
Not often you find these in this condition and the blue faded dial is possibly the most eye catching in my opinion.

Let customers speak for us
from 36 reviewsThe first thing I did was change the band. Much too big, but I have small wrists. I then set the watch by WWV, then waited. And waited. And waited! It was nearly two weeks before the time error was big enough to bother me! Never had a watch this accurate before. The watch looks and feels good on the wristsnd it’s nice to know it’s “made in America”
Another great watch fromTime-Tees all working perfectly and looks great.
Many thanks.
Even more beautiful in person, thanks Mike
This is number4 watch that I have purchased from Time tees and they are all brilliant , well serviced and exactly described in the video descriptions .
Am really pleased with my purchase, the watch is lovely and is nicer than I was expecting it to be.
I’ll certainly be buying again in the future
This is my first Technos and I must say I am impressed, There is so much light play going on in a refined way, the dial has "Geneva stripes", the Sapphire glass is facetted, so I just sit in the sun, admiring what happens, when I move my hand. I often ask myself afterwards, "What was the time?" and I have to look again. Due to the case is Tungsten/Wolfram, there is not a scratch on it, it looks like new, arriving with a time machine from the 70ts.
The price was a bargain, and as it was stated in the description, it is due to the small beautiful bracelet, that only my wife can wear, but she won't. ;-)
So I have put it on a leather strap, and it looks perfect, for office and party.
I am a very happy customer
The watch is absolutely gorgeous and gently humming away and another stunning tribute to Mikes skill. It's on the green rally strap which complements it perfectly. However, my wife has taken a shine to it and now wears it when it goes with her blouse, handbags, shoes etc.
Oh well its a good excuse buy another watch!
I love the 70's and I love this watch, case shape and dressy white dial. Delivered with a nice Croc. embossed leather strap and protective film on the spotless dial glass. I am very happy that this is now my watch, it's clearly a keeper.
I love my new Seiko, judging from your Web pictures and the description I knew something special was to be sent to me and oh my what a dial!, it looks like nothing I have seen before, like brown or golden colors on a bark structure, it plays with the light give all these colors.
Bracelet is beautiful smooth with its small links. The whole watch is simply a winner and I am so happy to be the owner :-)
Tshirt is top quality. Will return for another soon.
Wonder watch
