Seiko Macchina Sportiva Chronograph, SDWA87P


Age: May, 1996

Dimensions: 41mm wide, 13mm/18mm notched lugs

Features: Date, Chronograph, Tachymeter, Alarm, Water-resistant 200m, Giugiaro design, Hardlex crystal

Notes: This is a finely designed and crafted watch. The case has a unique ovoid shape and polished finish on top of the circular satin finished base. The hands are fully lumed. The chronograph sweep hand ticks at .25 seconds, and the top sub-dial tracks time at one hour increments. Hardlex crystal tops it off for durability and readability, and the sturdy 7T32 movement provides years of trouble-free service. This particular watch is lacking the original strap (which is blue sharkskin), so I will put this one up for sale and wait for a better example of this great piece.
