Vintage Seiko 5 DX Automatic 6319-5020 Gold Dial TV Case Day Date 38mm Watch Box

Vintage Seiko 5 DX Automatic, Case Ref. 6319-5020, Champagne-Gold Dial, TV-Shaped Steel Case, Day-Date, 38mm, 1970s

A champagne-gold dial in a broad brushed TV-shaped steel case gives this Seiko its seventies character. The dial carries the applied Seiko signature, the Seiko 5 shield and DX lettering, with applied baton markers, a contrasting outer minute track and a framed day-date window at 3 o’clock.

Brand heritage

Seiko began in 1881 when Kintaro Hattori opened a watch shop in Tokyo. The company made Japan’s first wristwatch in 1913 and the world’s first quartz wristwatch in 1969, and its affordable automatics of the 1960s and 1970s were sold all over the world.

Model history

The Seiko 5 line began in 1963 and stood for five features: automatic winding, day and date in one window, water resistance, a recessed crown and a durable case. “DX” marked the better-finished versions. The case back of this watch carries reference 6319-5020, which belongs to Seiko’s 21-jewel 6319 movement family of the later 1970s.

Condition

Important: the dial is marked “23 Jewels” while the case back reference 6319-5020 is associated with the 21-jewel 6319 movement family. The compatibility and originality of the fitted parts have not been established, and the watch is not represented as an all-original, factory-matched example. Otherwise it works well for a vintage timepiece. The case and case back show visible scratches, small nicks and edge wear. The dial has scattered spotting and localised surface deterioration, particularly around the lower-right edge. The strap shows signs of use.
