► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko Alarm Chrono A359-4000 men’s digital sports watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1970s. This classic Seiko digital model reflects the brand’s early innovation in multifunction digital sports watches and remains a highly collectible reference from Seiko’s pioneering digital era.
The watch is being sold for parts and repair. A battery was inserted, but the watch is not functioning and was not tested beyond that point, so the exact issue is unknown and it is unclear if it can be repaired.
All parts of the watch are original, including the case, case back, and bracelet. The watch is in good physical condition overall, showing signs of use and age, consistent with a vintage piece. Photos best describe its physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.

► ARCHIVE FILE: SEIKO — BRAND HISTORY
Seiko begins with Kintaro Hattori, who opened a shop selling and repairing clocks in Tokyo's Ginza district in 1881, at the age of twenty-one. He founded the Seikosha factory in 1892 to manufacture wall clocks, built Japan's first wristwatch, the Laurel, in 1913, and put the Seiko name on a dial for the first time in 1924. By mid-century his successors ran one of the most vertically integrated watch companies on earth, making everything from hairsprings to cases under its own roof.
