► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko 5 Sports Speedtimer automatic chronograph, model 7017-8000, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1970s. This highly collectible model features the iconic cushion case, black dial with orange accents, a bilingual day-date display, and Seiko’s renowned Speedtimer design.
The watch is being sold for parts and repair as it is currently not running properly, and the chronograph is not operating properly either. The watch is completely unrestored and is being sold strictly as is, with no guarantees regarding functionality or serviceability.
The watch is fitted with an aftermarket stainless steel bracelet. It shows signs of use and age throughout but remains a very honest, unrestored example. I believe it could be cleaned up very nicely with careful polishing. 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.
