There is, in the basement of a hotel in Kyoto, a superb little shop selling vintage watches. The manager and his employee do not speak a word of French. The negotiation was going to be difficult but I was planning on leaving the shop with this superb Orient from 1965 (+/-)! I liked its look, simple, efficient and so classy! Add to that the NOS condition (a characteristic of the Japanese market? I have only seen watches in fantastic condition there!) of the piece and its fluted crown to obtain a wonderful souvenir of an unforgettable trip. Communication with the shop staff was not easy, the manager explaining to me that the watch had not yet been serviced and that he refused to sell me a watch that he was not 100% sure of! Finally, I won and this dressy piece makes my weekends happy, when I am not wearing my older, sportier watches. A simple Japanese timepiece with a crazy charm and a history that I won't soon forget!

A vintage souvenir from a trip to Japan

While strolling through the aisles of a watch fair, I came face to face with this sublime Stowa French Army Type I. I had wanted a military watch for a long time, and here I am, faced with this model which, in addition, echoes my father's personal history. The seller was parting with this type I, which was more patinated, and a type II, in sensational condition. However, it was in front of this type I that I cracked. A quick exchange with the seller, a negotiation later, here it is on my wrist. It is incredible! A sick presence, a strong history, a contained size (33 mm) which, however, suits my rather large wrist perfectly. The Durowe 422 caliber still works very well, and even if the precision is not up to COSC standards, I don't care. Very happy to now have this piece in my collection. She is number 625. I don't know if she went to Indochina or Algeria, but in any case, she seems to have lived and I like that!

A story, a favorite

A few months ago, while browsing a Facebook group dedicated to vintage Seikos, I fell completely in love with this 7016 8001 model. The look is absolutely amazing, the blue dial is sublime, in short it's a total killer. After seeing it on this group, I became completely obsessed with this model. While I had not planned on buying a new watch, I had the opportunity to grab one on Chrono 24 for a few hundred euros. And what a treat!! A flyback chronograph, equipped with the 7016a movement (which also powers the Seiko Monaco, my next purchase I think!!) which will accompany me on an upcoming trip to Japan. The watch has a very small diameter but, despite my tanos wrist, it sits very well on it. Beyond the flyback function, it should be noted that there is no second hand, but frankly, I don't care. You can also change the day by pressing the crown. A super fun watch, rather rare and equipped with what appears, according to my readings, to be one of the most interesting movements produced by Daini Seikosha.

Seiko 7016 8001 "Flyback"

I always wanted a speed. Vintage and from my birth year. Here I have one! And honestly, it's great. What a pleasure to wear, I can't see anything else. On the other hand, is it the holy grail that will make me stop buying watches? No, no, no! A piece from my birth year, bought from a watchmaker I know well. A unique sentimental value that surpasses this idea of owning a piece of a great human conquest. A piece that will remain in my collection and which, failing to go to the moon, will, I hope, cross the decades in my company!

Birth year hobby.

I have long dreamed of a vintage Navitimer. I have seen the prices of vintage Navitimers soar ;)! Then, I learned that when Breitling was in difficulty following the quartz crisis, two brands positioned themselves to buy parts, tools, stocks: Sinn, well known, but also Ollech and Wajs. Albert Wajs chose the acronym Aviation Chronograph Suisse to market watches resulting from the buyouts made by O&W at Breitling around 1978. So I looked seriously into this story and in an ad, I came across this splendid Aviation, equipped with a valjoux 7736 [some other models have the buren cal.12 and sometimes have a balance bridge signed Breitling], gold-plated and giving the time on 24 hours. A real love at first sight!!! It came in a beautiful Aviation box, with some period papers, including the user manual in Italian, which I had fun deciphering. It seems that Aviation was at the time resold in Parma, in the "Longinotti" store. A piece that I love very much and which allowed me to realize my dream of a Navitimer but with, and this is mine, a little more history!

Chronograph Carica 34017

I acquired this fabulous Herma Le Mans chronograph (reference 911120) because I was looking for a piece linked to French watchmaking and industrial history...and also because I have a serious problem with chronographs. By chance, I came across this new model in stock and it was love at first sight. Equipped with a Valjoux 7733 (hand-wound), the reference I have, probably manufactured around 1969/70, has 2 beautiful red sub-dials, the one on the right allowing you to total 45 minutes (football fans!). The 42 mm case has 2 finishes, namely a polishing and what I would call a brushing all around the plexiglass. The chronograph hand has a beautiful orange color and the crown, black (but not easy to handle despite its size) gives a phenomenal face to the watch. A very beautiful chronograph that is easy to wear and gives the pleasant satisfaction of having a piece of heritage on your wrist.

A French chrono and a piece of history!

A fantastic Zenith AutoSport Luxe found at an antique dealer, in a deplorable state: scratched case, full of dents, very dirty dial and above all, 2562PC movement completely blocked. 

After a month spent at my watchmaker, it came back to me in working order, the case slightly renovated but not too much, so that the piece keeps the traces of its visibly tumultuous past. The case also has a small defect that must date from its manufacture, a kind of small steel stud on the right side, its signature! This watch quickly became one of the favorites of my collection and I must say that I wear it all the time. My first Zenith, and I'm crazy about it!

A nugget unearthed in pitiful condition

This superb Breitling Chronomat, reference 81950, was given to me for my birthday. A dream for me to own a model of this brand. Powered by a Valjoux 7750, decorated, on the case back, by a superb Aermacchi MB-339A, this Breitling "Aermacchi" makes me a happy man. Produced between 1984 and 1990, this model marks the rebirth of the Chronomat, after difficult years for the brand. The watch is easy to wear and above all, turns out to be a real chameleon! Depending on the bracelet, it can be very sporty or very chic. Unfortunately, I do not have the original roller bracelets, but, in any case, it would probably be too small for my wrist. A watch of the heart, historical, full of history and which, like the Navitimer, is very linked to the world of aviation, the Aermacchi MB-339A, being the aircraft in service with the Frecce Tricolori, the aerobatic squadron of our Italian friends. In short, a very interesting vintage piece and which fills me every time I wear it! Finally, and I understand that one may not like it, I really appreciate the movement of the 7750 in this watch. Let me explain: you feel the mass move, the watch lives on the wrist and takes it with it. This may not please everyone, but as far as I'm concerned, it's great!

The Breitling "Aermacchi"

An original pilot's watch, assembled and adjusted in Switzerland! Swiss Made designation justified at 95%. The manufacturing quality is impeccable, the finishes are of a very good level. The case is in brushed 316L steel, the crown is signed O&W. We can clearly speak of a Big Crown, screwed, to ensure water resistance to 30 atmospheres. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal with the most beautiful effect. ETA 2824-2 caliber, assembled and adjusted by the watchmakers of the house, nothing to complain about the precision, which gives me complete satisfaction. The hands are incredible and are really, in my opinion, the big strong point of the watch. The NATO strap is of very good quality and comes with a pretty brushed steel buckle signed O&W. I have not tried the Steel strap but I installed an orange tropic and the rendering is really fun and very pleasant. The dial takes the light well, the watch remains very readable underwater. The only downside is that the hands and indexes are advertised as being treated with super Luminova, but the treatment is a bit light in my opinion. For the rest, it's all good. The price is, in my opinion, fair for the quality of the product offered. 39 mm in diameter, nice presence when worn, a success!

An original pilot's watch with impeccable finishes.

Found for a handful of euros, this very cool Seiko Sports 100 M929 5020 from the 80s was sold immediately after installing a new battery. I, who didn't really wear quartz, except for a solar one to show off, was completely hooked on the excellent look of this watch. It is in great condition and is really nice to wear. The bracelet is light, signed and easy to adjust. I am the first to be surprised but I love this charm! I really enjoy wearing it and playing with its different functions!

A classy Seiko LCD for a handful of euros

Bought 5 years ago, this Seiko prospex solar equipped with the V176 caliber is a solid adventurer that has cut down trees, gone down rivers, swam in fresh water, salt water and dug the garden (not alone, it is not haunted yet!) with its owner! Screw-down crown, 20 bars of water resistance, a real tough watch, which, apparently, resists all the mistreatment inflicted on it. The glass has eaten a little but overall, the piece remains clean after 5 years of use. The watch has never stopped, although stored in a box in a dimly lit room. Apparently, the battery charges for 6 months and I confirm. The brand recommends replacing the battery (+ servicing) after 10 years. I have no doubt that it will hold up until then without fail. On a nato or on a rubber, the watch wears well if the adjustment is done correctly. As is often the case, the original Seiko leather is pretty rubbish, but in any case, I don't think it's the material that suits him best!

Indestructible !

I received this pretty little vintage Seiko 5 as a gift, the glass was shattered but the watch worked properly. Purchase of a new glass on ebay followed by a quick trip to the little watchmaker and here is a watch that gives a lot compared to its apparent simplicity. A day date "tv dial", days in English/Arabic, caliber 6309 roots (without manual winding) but ultra reliable and solid. With a small blue leather strap, it looks great on the wrist, with a polo shirt of the same color for example. These little vintage 5 models can be found for a song and there was such a variety that it is, I think, impossible not to find what you are looking for!

Pleasure for a handful of bucks!

I had a real crush on this Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000 watch from 1978. Bought from a photo from a watchmaker several years ago, I am still crazy about this definitively 70's watch today. Integrated bracelet, incredible depth between glass and dial, terrible look, this watch is one of the many testimonies of the design madness that was rampant at Omega in the 70s. Powered by the caliber 1020 which beats at 28,800 vph, it keeps the time precisely and dresses my wrist perfectly. There are many variations that bear the name Cosmic 2000, but this one is my favorite of this range apparently marketed under this name from 1972. A killer that I love to look at, admire and wear. The Omega crown is discreet and not always easy to use to set the time, but no matter, it's always a pleasure to take this watch out of the box. The bracelet needs to be adjusted properly or it will wander around a bit on the wrist. A love of a watch! As for the value for money, it's difficult to talk about on a vintage... the emotion can hardly be summed up in a number... so let's say that it doesn't matter, as long as there is pleasure!

70's Madness at Omega

The Seiko brand, founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori in the Ginza district of Tokyo, has become one of the most influential and respected watch companies in the world. Since the opening of its first store, Seiko has continued a path of constant growth and innovation.
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Seiko brand</h2>
The year 1924 marked the first watch produced under the Seiko brand. The company continued to develop new technologies, and in 1956 it released the first self-winding wristwatch made in Japan. The real game-changer came in 1969 with the introduction of the Seiko Astron, the world's first quartz watch. This innovation not only changed the direction of Seiko but also revolutionized the entire watch industry.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Seiko solidified its reputation as a technological leader with the development of solar-powered watches and the introduction of professional divers' watches. In 2005, Seiko presented the Spring Drive, a unique movement combining the strength of mechanical watchmaking and the precision of quartz.
In recent years, Seiko has continued to innovate by creating eco-friendly watches and supporting various environmental initiatives. The brand is known for its commitment to quality, precision and sophisticated design.

The prices of new Seiko watches change regularly and vary depending on the model. Most cost between &euro;500 and &euro;1,000 depending on the finishes. Price differences can be significant between the brand's different collections. For example, the price of a Seiko 5 fluctuates between &euro;200 and &euro;400 and the Seiko Prospex between &euro;300 and &euro;2,500. Prices also fluctuate depending on the distributor, and promotions sometimes allow you to benefit from a more competitive price.

Here is my Seiko 5 - Snke01k1 - with an integrated case - 60 minute bezel - equipped with an automatic caliber 7S26 - shiny black dial - applied stick indexes as well as the 5 logo. Day date black background - 36 mm brushed case - the perfect watch for summer and in tune with the times with its integrated bracelet!

Seiko 5 integrated case

I really like this Seiko 5 with a diameter of 40mm which looks a bit like a Tudor bb…it is very comfortable, I wear it quite often…its diameter for a Seiko 5 is smaller because I have other Seiko 5 sport Milanese mesh which are 42mm, it is automatic with a power reserve of 42 hours…it also exists in black dial color and its public price is 270 euros.

Ma Seiko 5 Srpe 53k1

Here is an atypical Seiko 5 - TV dial style
It dates from the end of the 70s - sunburst blue dial
In the center and midnight blue around, quite a program, this dial is truly magnificent which sparkles at the slightest source of light! With an integrated case. The plexiglass has been changed for a more beautiful effect! Beautiful acquisition and one more Seiko for my collection. Thank you

An atypical Seiko 5

I was lucky enough to see a two-tone watch so 80 on his wrist for a long time.
The problem with big brands is to see how much they tense up when it comes to innovating, so convinced that the public will not follow this time. So we change the color of the dial blah blah blah...
so it is sometimes useful to go back to the past.
this watch is cool, funky and so 80 (and not FFF: futile showing off...)

Vintage, tribute to my father

An incredible watch, absolutely accessible to everyone. Automatic movement with date (in English AND Arabic) and day. Integrated bracelet very comfortable to wear. I recommend this model for its UNBEATABLE quality/price ratio!! Imported from the Middle East, it is rare in Europe and I have never seen one.

SEIKO 5 ARABIC DIAL 34MM

I think every collector should have a birthday watch and Seiko by its serial numbers makes the search a lot easier.
This Seiko Actus SS from December 1976 is my birthday watch, it is in a 'time capsule' condition in the good sense of the term, almost new old stock.
SS means Second Setting, it is the 3rd Seiko model with this famous 'stop seconds' setting.
Immaculate dial, case without scratches, I just swapped the original metal bracelet, not very pleasant and very 70s, for a wine red leather with the most beautiful effect.
I wear it rarely, it is a heritage watch that I will pass on and which I hope will see the next generations.

Seiko Actus SS 'Birthday Watch'

What if this Seiko 5 was my favorite watch!? Bought for €150 2 years ago, it's crazy the pleasure it gives me and the impression - for this song - of having a watch on my wrist... precious. Of great value. The gilding that frames the indexes, the date window, the hands and even the Five logo applied just like the brand, all of this delights me as much as possible. And the sunburst metallic of the dial that adds something at little cost, I love it!!! Its small 36mm format bothered me, even disappointed me at first. Now, it's this size that I like and that I'm looking for. Yes, really, a watch that makes you rich because for this price, you can afford it much more often than reason should allow. And when you know the infinite variation of models released in the Five series, you tell yourself that you haven't finished having fun without (too much) counting.

The watch that makes you rich!

With its vintage look from the 70s/80s, this Seiko 5 SNXS takes me back in time!
Its price is also very reasonable, around 150 euros and its mechanism, the famous 7S26, is a tractor that lasts over time!
In short, this watch is a sure bet, so much so that Seiko has just reissued it (in April 2024).

A great vintage look for a very reasonable price

Here is a very nice SEIKO 5 7009-3110 from 1982 in a full "gold" version that I have owned for a little less than 20 years. This model is nicknamed "Datejust" because of its similarity to you-know-who. However, it has the Seiko codes with the crown at 4:00 and the day / date with quick change in 2 languages (French and English). I did not buy it at all for this resemblance, but simply because I found it beautiful in the sun! The caliber is the 7009 with 17 jewels, rather good quality and quite precise. The gold coating is very resistant, because after 40 years it is still impeccable. Afterwards, the full "gold" (bracelet, case, bezel, dial, indexes and hands) will surely not please everyone, but I assume it very well, and I wear it with pleasure when I am looking for a very, very dressy watch.

She does not go unnoticed

It's not just Omega or Timex that has the right to its Snoopy edition!
A superb release from Seiko with this 5 with a 38 mm case, very comfortable.
Snoopy in every way, on the dial, on the typography of the bezel, on the crown and of course on the case back.
The perfect sports watch for the holidays!

Snoopy in Japanese time

Seiko 5 Snke01k1 automatic, about 36 mm... boosted by 7s26, 21 jewels. No manual winding possible. Apart from the size that I now find too small, it is a very reliable watch and smells of quality. With the little use I make of it, it is worry-free. Just take it in hand and it restarts. The bezel does not turn, and I find the dial with the hands very pretty and readable.

Small, but...

Seiko five (ref: SNK809K2). This is my wife's daily. This military-style Seiko is very readable thanks to the contrast between the whiteness of the hands and the hours/minutes typography with the navy blue dial. The day and date are also very well integrated since they keep these same codes. My wife chose a fabric strap with a red border recalling the end of the second hand and which feminizes it a little more. The 37mm case includes the entry-level automatic caliber 7S26 but which remains of impeccable quality. It turns at 21600 vibrations per hour. This 7s26 has the particularity of recharging in both directions thanks to the "Magic Lever" system. Unfortunately, it is impossible to wind it manually and the power reserve of only 40 hours is a little short if you stay a day without too many activities...
However, I recommend this Seiko if you have a small budget and are looking for a simple and efficient everyday watch that goes everywhere.

Simple and incredibly effective

This watch has a sandblasted steel case that gives an aged look that is particularly pleasing to the eye. The applied indexes offer a play of light that is hard to detach from. The timepiece not only has the date, but also the day. The latter has the advantage of being in French. The dial offers two scales for the hours (a classic one from 1 to 12 and the other from 13 to 24). It is also necessary to highlight the beautiful quality of the leather strap. The hardlex glass is a little disappointing for a watch of this type, but it remains more resistant than a standard mineral glass.

All the charm of Seiko

This watch was a real surprise! Ordered online, opening the box excited me like a watch rarely does. The deep blue, the contrast of its hands, the resolutely contained but quite suitable size (37 mm) makes it a simple, relevant, easy to wear and above all pretty watch. It suits me perfectly and I always take great pleasure in wearing it. Not very thick, it slips very well under the shirt sleeve. The dial is the strong point of the watch. The movement is the famous 7S26, reliable but not very precise and without stop seconds, nor winding via the crown. It is always surprising to wind your watch by shaking it! but that is part of the charm of this watch and for the precision, it is not a few seconds per day, which will change the pleasure I have in wearing it.
Its faults are the bracelet, quite low quality, but nevertheless comfortable and the 5 logo emblazoned which looks a little dated.
For less than 80 euros this watch is definitely worth the purchase and the love at first sight!

Simple, classic, inexpensive

Uncommon Seiko SNK357 from 2015 with an ideal diameter of 37mm, discreet under the sleeve. 
Its detail that makes all the difference on this reference? A textured blue dial with the 5 of Seiko 5, an inspiration from the textured dials that can be found at Grand Seiko. Model initially reserved for the Japanese market before being available internationally. This blue varies from light blue to black depending on the light and goes perfectly with the applied indexes and an angular style that is today the strength of the higher Presage range. 


Seiko SNK357 K1, it has everything a great

A must have in your collection!, for me Seiko 5, has a particular imprint in the world of Japanese watchmaking, the 4r36 movement is quite qualitative for the price, I particularly love the transparent case back which lets you see this pretty movement, the midnight blue frame and the indexes shine in the light, which makes this watch an ideal partner to accompany your daily life whether at the gym or in casual wear, it is always a pleasure to have an entry-level Seiko in your collection

Seiko 5 dial bleu

I wanted a fieldwatch with character to complete my Seiko collection. I came across this Seiko5, not too expensive, rather original and which does not duplicate my Khaki Field. Its design caught me immediately, the dial is sumptuous and convinced me to buy it. I have to be honest and recognize its flaws, a very cheap strap that almost looks plastic, a 4R35 movement that is not the most noble and a hardlex glass that could take scratches. But all its flaws are quickly forgotten when I put it on a small nato, and I take pleasure in admiring the dial without any guilt about the investment each time I look at the time.

A little thrill this Seiko5 fieldwatch
