Couldn't load pickup availability
Here we have an early Seiko Sportsmatic 5 dating from December 1965. The Sportsmatic 5 was the first Seiko 5 model launched in 1963. The 5 stands for 5 features. A day-date display, a crown at 4, water resistance and a durable case and bracelet & an automatic movement. This one has lost its bracelet though. It did arrive with one but I don't think its original but will include it in the parcel anyway.
I have given this watch a full comprehensive inspection and service and its now running well, especially given its 60 years old. I am sure it can tell a few stories but more importantly it can tell a few more now its been freshened up and given a new life.
Inside houses the 6619 automatic movement. This cant be hand wound or hacked which is typical of Seiko in this line of watches. Movement is in great condition with very little sign of wear.
The dial has some mild patina that is effecting part of the lacquer but its only just noticeable i and in my opinion gives it character. The day date display is English only and the day cannot be quickset the date can. Please see my video in this post on how this works.
Watch has had a brand new acrylic crystal fitted and a new destressed looking leather strap to compliment the watch. A new crown and caseback gasket has been fitted but please do not swim or bathe with a watch like this as I will not guarantee any real waterproofing.

from 34 reviewsAnother 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.
