Title: New Old Stock 1972 Seiko 7016-5000 Description: PRISTINE MINT condition. Basically untouched except for a handful of hard to find and very faint handling scuffs. Sold to the original owner at the PX in Hong Kong for about $60 US. That receipt, not shown is included. This is a small watch for all its functions and a very attractive design to say the least. By far the best arrangement for a chronograph is to utilize two or more functions per dial, if a clean uncluttered look is desired. This is achieved with the only sub dial at six. The white portion and black hand count hours up to twelve. Outside of that is another rectangular chapter in orange for 30/60 minutes. It is a 30 minute recorder. The large center second hand is the 60 second recorder. No usual seconds as is common. English day/date is quick set by pushing in on the crown. Also shows Roman numerals for each day of the week, I for Monday and VI for Saturday for instance. Dark green color almost looks black in person but changes in light. Automatic movement ticks with little motion. Best mid-sized to small chronograph design by Seiko by far and in the best possible condition. Measures 37 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 13 mm thick. {$575} Item #4689 SOLD
