Absolutely superb example of this iconic divers watch with the caliber 7S26 movement which has 21 jewels and runs at 21,600 bph. The 7S26 200m is the diver that replaced the 7002s and maintains a similar look and feel to classic divers in the 6105-6306-6309-7002 lineage. The 7S26 movement, which has 21 Jewels and runs at 21,600 bph is a non-hacking movement like most traditional Seiko calibers and has a quickset day/date calendar system. The SKX030 is the midsize model that is a direct descendant of the 6105-6306-6309-7002 line of divers. These traditional-style divers all have similar if not identical cases. One very small difference between the 7S26 divers and their predecessors is that the crown position on the 7S26 has moved to 3:45 o'clock instead of 4. All 200m divers have uni-directional locking bezels with 120-click graduations. They are one of the most popular and robust divers made. This watch has been lovingly restored and serviced by one of the most respected Seiko watch restorers and is looking stunning on a new stainless steel aftermarket jubilee bracelet and with an original black dial and original hands - a true iconic classic and a truly beautiful watch. No papers or box but link to Seiko instructions will be provided.

The movement has been newly overhauled, cleaned, serviced and regulated. I have had Watchkings complete a proper full service not just a clean so it has been ‘stripped (deconstruct) down checking all parts for damage. All mechanical parts were then cleaned in a modern ELMA watch cleaning machine before being reassembled, lubricating (with Seiko recommended oils). All gaskets disturbed were replaced with new ones too. Once reassembled it was tested and regulated on a digital timegrapher to ensure it is running within acceptable tolerances, before resealing it.

• SERVICE: Restoration and overhaul of this watch were all completed by a master Seiko watch restorer.  The servicing carried out includes the following:

• Checking for parts authenticity.
• Overhauling.
• Cleaning.
• Lubricating.
• Testing movement against a timing machine.
•  5 Bar water pressure test.

• I understand that it is difficult to choose a watch from photos so if you do not like the watch when it arrives I offer a free returns policy - just choose ‘just did not like it’ and the return for a full refund will be free.
