About this watch

A late-1970s Seiko 5 ladies' automatic, reference 2906-5090, powered by Seiko's self-winding calibre 2906 with day and date. The deep midnight-blue sunburst dial carries applied silver baton markers and three clear stones in square settings at 12, 9 and 6 o'clock, with a day-date window at 3 o'clock. The wide, polished round steel case flows into an integrated bracelet of flat brushed links, a bold 1970s design. The caseback serial 962160 dates it to June 1979.

Brand heritage

Seiko, founded in Tokyo in 1881, introduced the Seiko 5 line in the 1960s as an affordable, robust automatic watch defined by five key attributes, including automatic winding, day-date display and water resistance. Seiko 5 went on to become one of the best-selling mechanical watch families in the world.
