[Timestamp](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WkduhfdLmXqyMIm2UXoWXkBw6TrzQQeT/view?usp=sharing) Hey Watchexchange! Up for sale is a classic, clean-cut **Seiko 5 from July 2001**. This piece is for the collector who appreciates the "less is more" philosophy, but still wants to see the mechanical heart of the watch beating. The star is the stunning **dark blue plain dial** that maintains its deep navy hue in all lighting conditions. It’s remarkably legible, featuring **baton indices** with lume pips and classic **pencil lume hands**. A dedicated minute track runs along the perimeter, giving it a sharp, functional pilot-watch aesthetic. The highlight of this specific reference is the exhibition case back, allowing you to see the legendary **7S26 automatic movement** in action. It’s the perfect way to show off the "Magic Lever" winding system and the balance wheel that keeps this 20-year-old beauty ticking. The case features a professional **brushed finish** on the lugs with a **high-polish ring** for contrast. True to the Seiko 5 DNA, the crown is tucked at 4 o'clock for a sleek look and comfortable wear. To complete the package, I’ve paired it with a **new dark blue leather strap** that perfectly complements the deep tones of the dial. **🔹 Key Dimensions** * **Case Diameter:** 37mm * **Lug-to-Lug:** 42mm * **Thickness:** 11mm (including display back) * **Lug Width:** 18mm 💵 **Price: $145 shipped!** 📦 **Payment: PayPal F&F** or G&S (**+4.5% fee by buyer**) or **bank wire (US banks accepted)** 📩 **DM me for more photos or a custom timestamp.** Whether it’s a birth-year gift or a new daily driver, the "Midnight Pilot" offers a lot of watch for the money.
