Title: Vintage February 1986 Seiko Automatic (Ref. 7009-8081) – Faded Purple Linen
Description: a beautiful, classic vintage Seiko Automatic Reference 7009-8081, manufactured in February 1986. This specific reference is highly sought after by collectors for its stunning, light-catching two-tone purple-to-blue gradient linen dial, which perfectly embodies the vibrant retro aesthetic of the era.
This piece has been fully overhauled mechanically and visually refreshed, making it the perfect turn-key addition to any collection or an exceptional daily vintage wearer.
Condition & Service History
• Movement: Powered by the legendary, ultra-reliable Seiko Caliber 7009 automatic movement (17 Jewels). Recently fully serviced, it keeps excellent time and holds a strong power reserve.
• Crystal: Fitted with a brand-new, flawless replacement crystal. The gorgeous, textured linen dial can now be viewed with absolute clarity.
• Case & Bracelet: The solid stainless steel case and original integrated-style steel bracelet show honest, unpolished, age-appropriate signs of wear and light scratching, preserving its vintage character and sharp case lines.
