[Timestamp](https://postimg.cc/CZvpjf7z) Hey Watchexchange! When it comes to **funky late-’70s and early-’80s design**, **Seiko** was in a league of its own. This was the **golden era of experimentation**: **TV-shaped cases**, **bold dials**, and **integrated style** that perfectly captured the spirit of the times. These weren’t just watches — they were **statements**. This particular piece, from **October 1980**, is a prime example. A **bold cushion “TV-style” case** and a **vibrant dial**combine to create a look that’s unmistakably **retro**, yet still highly **wearable today**. The dial is finished in a **striking electric blue brushed texture**, shifting beautifully in the light. **Applied double stick indices** give it a structured rhythm, while the **slender pencil hands** keep it balanced and legible. At **3 o’clock**, a **framed day-date window** completes the classic **Seiko 5 layout**. Inside ticks the **17-jewel automatic Cal. 7009**, a movement designed for **reliability** and **everyday usability**. It’s a caliber that continues to perform **dependably** even decades later. The watch retains its **original Hardlex crystal**, preserving its **vintage authenticity**. It’s paired with a **blue Hirsch Runner leather strap**, which not only **matches the dial** but also elevates the **retro aesthetic** with a modern twist. 🔹 **Dimensions** • **Case Diameter:** 37mm (without crown) • **Lug-to-Lug:** 42mm • **Thickness:** 10mm • **Lug Width:** 18mm 💵 **Price:** $145 shipped 🚢 **Shipping:** UPS (Worldwide) 📦 **Payment:** PayPal **F&F** or **G&S** (+4.5% fee paid by buyer) 📩 DM me for more pics or a **custom timestamp**. If you’re after a **true retro Seiko** with bold **1980s flair**, the **“Electric Blue TV”** has all the personality you need — **without breaking the bank**.
