Up for sale is a Rare Vintage Seiko 5 Sports Speedtimer 7017-6040 men’s chronograph watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1970s. This highly collectible model features Seiko’s iconic Speedtimer design, a bold cushion case, and the distinctive styling that has made the 7017 series a favorite among vintage Seiko enthusiasts.
The watch is being sold for parts and repair as it is currently not running properly or holding accurate time. The chronograph appears to be functioning properly, but it has only been lightly tested and there may be additional underlying issues. The watch is completely unrestored and will require a service in order to operate properly. All parts of the watch are original, including the original Seiko 5 Sports stainless steel bracelet.
The watch shows signs of use and age throughout, with most of the wear concentrated on the crystal. I believe that with a careful polishing, or if desired a crystal replacement, the watch could be refreshed into a very attractive example while preserving its vintage character. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully by interested buyers.

► ARCHIVE FILE: SEIKO — BRAND HISTORY
From Kintaro Hattori's 1881 Tokyo shop, Seiko grew into a vertically integrated manufacturer that reshaped both mechanical and electronic watchmaking. Grand Seiko, landmark dive watches, the 6139 automatic chronograph, and the 1969 Astron quartz watch chart a history of relentless competition and invention that left an unusually broad vintage catalog.
