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

Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko 5 Sports Speed-Timer 7017-8000 men’s automatic chronograph sports watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1970s. This highly collectible Speed-Timer features a very dark blue dial with striking orange accents, an internal pulsometer scale, and the distinctive styling that helped define Seiko’s early automatic sports 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. Please note that the presentation box is heavily damaged, particularly to the exterior of the box and the hinges, as can be seen in the photos. The watch itself is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age. The photos best describe its overall appearance and physical condition and should be reviewed carefully.
