Seiko “TV” Automatic

Details

Offered here is a Japan Domestic Market (JDM) Seiko “TV” Automatic, Reference 7009-5029, with serial number 670570, dating production to the mid-1970s. The watch features Seiko’s distinctive television-style rectangular cushion case, finished in a brushed gold-tone that frames a rich brown dial for a true period-correct 1970s look. The dial is complemented by applied indices, central seconds, and a day-date window at 3 o’clock, with a subtle pop of color on the day-date indicator that adds a touch of character. Paired with an integrated two-tone bracelet, the watch has a cohesive, jewelry-like presence on the wrist that leans into the bold design language of the era.
