Up for sale is a Rare Vintage Seiko 5 Sports Speed-Timer 7017-8000 Men’s Automatic Chronograph Watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1970s. This iconic vintage Speed-Timer features a clean black dial with striking orange accents, an internal pulsimeter scale, and the distinctive styling that made Seiko’s early automatic chronographs legendary among collectors.
The watch is being sold for parts and repair as it is currently not running properly, and the chronograph pushers do not appear to engage the chronograph mechanism correctly. The watch is completely unrestored and is being sold strictly as-is.
The watch is fitted on an aftermarket stainless steel bracelet.
The watch is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.

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.
