Seiko 5 Sports Speedtimer 7017-8000 Men’s Vintage Chronograph Watch JDM 1970s

Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko 5 Sports Speedtimer 7017-8000 men’s automatic chronograph sports watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1970s. The 7017-8000 is a distinctive early Seiko Speedtimer featuring classic 1970s sports styling, a bold black dial with orange accents, and Seiko’s automatic chronograph technology from one of the most important periods in the development of mechanical chronographs. The watch is in full working condition and running and holding accurate time over a 24-hour period. The chronograph is fully functional and resets correctly to its proper positions. As with any vintage chronograph with an unknown service history, the buyer should understand the vintage nature of the watch. While the chronograph was observed functioning properly, these movements contain delicate components that can become damaged or misaligned through excessive use, misuse, or lack of servicing. If absolute perfect operation is desired, I would recommend having the watch serviced. All parts of the watch are original, including the original Seiko 5 Sports stainless steel bracelet and signed clasp. The watch also comes with a genuine vintage Seiko presentation box. I am unsure whether this particular box was originally sold with this watch, so it is being described only as a genuine vintage Seiko box rather than as the watch’s original box. The watch is in fantastic vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its overall appearance and physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
