Seiko Marvel 13048 Men’s Vintage Seikosha 17J Classic Dress Watch JDM 1950s

Up for sale is a rare vintage Seiko Marvel 13048 men’s 17-jewel manual wind classic dress watch, produced for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) during the 1950s. The Seiko Marvel collection represents an important milestone in the brand’s mechanical watchmaking history, introduced in 1956 as one of Seiko’s most significant early postwar mechanical watch series. Powered by a traditional 17-jewel Seikosha manual wind movement, the Marvel helped establish Seiko’s reputation for precision and quality, paving the way for the company’s later high-end mechanical collections. The watch is being sold for parts and repair, as it is currently not running and the crown cannot be wound. The cause of the issue is unknown, and the extent of the repairs required or whether the watch can be restored to working condition is uncertain. The watch is completely unrestored and is being sold as is. The watch is in good vintage physical condition with signs of use and age consistent with a worn vintage watch. The photos best describe its physical condition.
