Other: This cool vintage Seiko World Time Automatic was manufactured in July of 1964 to commemorate the Tokyo Summer Olympics in October that year. We love the bright silver "linen" dial with black/blue 24-hour track. And the black 24-hour hand matches the black on the rotating world-time bezel. The wearer can line up their current location on the world-time bezel to the black 24-hour hand. The black/blue 24-hour track on the dial itself will then point to the corresponding times in other major world cities. The in-house 6217A movement features a convenient quick-set date feature (in either direction). For peace of mind, it has just been completely overhauled by our watchmaker with a brand new acrylic crystal installed at the time of service. The original crystal will also be included with the watch. We discovered this watch locally and it came fitted on this rare Seiko STELUX bracelet.
