Item Details
Description
Group of 2 Vintage Seiko Watches, Rare, c. 1980s in overall Good condition.
First, In 1981 the Seiko SILVER WAVE 2628-0040 won the Japanese Good Design award from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, for this, the first cockpit watch. It was produced in 1981 and is equipped with a quartz movement.
This watch is the first cockpit instrument styled wristwatch ever produced. It measures 34mm square, with the crown, is 37mm across and is 8mm thick. Lug to lug measures 40mm and lug width is 22mm, which complements the design.
The watch is powered by a small 2-jewel Cal. 2628A hacking quartz movement that runs at 32,768 Hz. The dial below features a blue sunburst finish with a small seconds sub-dial at the 6 o’clock position. This is contrasted by legible Arabic numeral fonts with single heavy ticks at the hour markers and an easy to see double tick at the 12 o’clock mark. Sword style hour and minute hands compliment the fonts quite nicely. The face of the watch has 4 “mounting” screws, and a black rubberized finish, just as cockpit instruments are similarly finished to minimize reflection.
Together with a Seiko Digital Quartz watch in overall Fair condition.
Both watches are currently running but have not been tested in any manner and are not guaranteed.
