When the word Seiko is thrown around in casuall conversation,most consumers think good quartz watches. Even those that have come to recognize seiko with quality usually think in terms of the ubiquitous automatic,the 7s26. Here it is in a dejeweld version,the 7002.
While it can be agreed that the 7s family of movements are very functional,theres a economy of form that is readily apparent in the finish.
But it wasnt too long ago that if you bought a Seiko,You where getting a serious peice of horology.
I`d like to take a short step back in time,and show you some Seikos that really packed a punch. All of these save one are from my personal collection. All are heavily jeweled,most offer hand winding. For those that think of Seikos as a lower branch on the tree of horology,I offer these pictures. Unfortunately,I hav`nt listed these in eny particular order. I have removed the winding rotor in almost all examples,so as to give the reader a better look at “what makes them tick”. I will try to add what specifacations I know about the movement,but as always,if I Boo-Boo,or omit something,please feel free to correct me,or add aditional details I`m not aware of.
Let the show begin………….
Below is the Cal 5246. A high beat movement,its beating at 28,800 bph. Covered in 25 jeweles,it has a micro regulator. It can be handwound,both day and date can be quick set at the crown,and the second hand can be hacked (stoped for accurate time setting).
