Seiko Seikosha Sportsmatic 5 418970
Let’s kick this list off with the original Seiko 5 from 1963. The Seiko 5 Sportsmatic from “The Five” series from 1963 is notoriously hard to find. Unfortunately, most examples of this watch have not survived the test of time so well. Their biggest issue is the plated case, which is often in very bad condition. And when pieces do show up for sale or auction in decent or good condition, collectors are all over them. But that’s no reason to leave the first model out. After all, it started the Seiko 5 legacy, and it’s quite an interesting piece.
This watch featured a 37mm chrome-plated brass case that came with either a black or silver dial. Inside the case, Seiko used its 21-jewel automatic caliber 410 with an operating frequency of 18,000vph. Later, the movement would get the reference 6619, which, as you probably know, starts the later Seiko references. The watch is hard to find on its original bracelet as the quality of these bracelets was not necessarily the best. Then again, plenty of vintage watch bracelets have not survived through six decades.
