Seiko 5 Sportmatic, 6619-8050


Age: June, 1965

Dimensions: 36mm wide, 17mm lugs

Features: Day, Date, Waterproof, 21 jewel movement

Notes: This is a nice example of an early Seiko 5. It has a somewhat rare black/white combo on the day/date wheel. I've included a picture of the caseback because it has a picture of a whale, something I've never seen. Sea lions, dolphins, sea horses, waves, yes. But not this aquatic mammal. It's a sporty but refined watch, clearly not in the same league as the
62mas divers that Seiko featured at the time.
