AUTHENTIC VINTAGE SEIKO DIVER 7002-7000 WITH LOVELY CUSTOM SCUBA TANK DIAL AUTOMATIC MENS WATCH
Absolutely superb example of this iconic divers watch with the caliber 7002 movement which has 17 jewels and runs at 21,600 bph. It's a non-hacking movement like most traditional Seiko calibers and has a quickset date only calendar mechanism. By the late 1980s, Seiko had changed the case design of the divers from the earlier large cushion shape to a slimmed-down case. When the 7002 divers replaced the 6309s, they inherited the small case design from the 6309-7290. The 7002 series came out after the end of production of the 6309 series diver and ran from approx. 1988 to 1996. There are several different variations of the 7002 divers and this one the 7002-7000 is identical to the others with the vintage divers distinctive look. This watch which from the serial number we can see was made in February 1995 has been lovingly restored and serviced by one of the most respected Seiko watch restorers and is looking stunning on a new Black Rubber Divers Strap - a true iconic classic and a truly stunning watch.
