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, distinctive cushion case, and is part of the historically significant 7017 chronograph family.
The watch is being sold for parts and repair as it is currently not operating properly. The chronograph seconds hand is missing, and part of the day-date display is missing as well. The watch is completely unrestored and will require a service, along with likely additional replacement parts, in order to operate properly. It is fitted on an aftermarket stainless steel bracelet.
The watch shows signs of use and age throughout. I believe a careful polishing could greatly refresh its appearance 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.
