Seiko 5 - 1967 DX Automatic

WHAT WE LOVE:

Seiko 5 watches have long been celebrated as the ultimate value proposition in mechanical watchmaking. Since the 1960s, the Seiko 5 line has stood for reliability, utility, and affordability, making it the first mechanical watch for generations of collectors.

What defines a Seiko 5? Five core promises: automatic winding, day-date display, water resistance, recessed crown at 4 o’clock, and a durable case and bracelet — all designed with daily wear in mind. Whether you're looking at a vintage 1970s model or one of the modern reissues, Seiko 5s are unpretentious, robust, and full of character. They punch well above their weight, not just in functionality but in design.

This example from 1967 features a beautiful silver dial, baton hour makers and steel bracelet making it a perfect everyday watch.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

At the heart of the 5139-8000 is the Seiko Caliber 5139A, a hi-beat (36,000 vph) automatic movement with day-date display. While not part of the Grand Seiko or King Seiko families, the finishing and accuracy of this caliber reflect Seiko’s broader push toward chronometer-grade performance during the era.
