Hey WatchEx! For sale is this vintage Seiko "Chronos" (7432-8000), made in Japan in May of 1983. The "Chronos" series was a mid-range series by Seiko introduced in 1983, primarily for the Japanese domestic market, that sought to be a more elegant echo of the "SilverWave" series, which was more sport-orientated. It was also the predecessor to the "Spirit" series. This model, reference number WAB994, was one of the first "Chronos" released and has some real nice "old money" styling. The dial has a unique texture in that it has organically placed "x" marks among subtle horizontal lines, creating a barley field-like pattern. The lightning bolt logo on the bottom of the dial and case back indicate that the watch was designed and manufactured by the Daini factory during its fierce rivalry with the Suwa factory. The thick, chamfered crystal is my favourite part of the watch, giving it a super vintage vibe. It features the cyclops that is carved out from the inside so that the top surface remains completely flat. The rest of the gold-plated case is very well proportioned. The WAB994 houses the calibre 7432 movement which is a beautiful vintage quartz movement that still works great. Comes on a brand new super malleable and soft leather strap. Brand new battery fitted.  The condition is very good for a watch that was made 43 years ago, with general minor wear and a couple of small scratches on the crystal, the dial is basically spotless.
