Hi WatchEx! For sale is this vintage Seiko "Chronos" (7433-7010), made in Japan in July 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-oriented. It was also the predecessor to the "Spirit" series. This watch, reference number WJP010, is a shining example of the brief with its fantastic proportions and design features. The dial is subtly crosshatch-textured in a silvery white colour like linen. The pencil hands are high-polish with a black line down the centre and with a lumed section (although not brightly). The high-polish stick baton markers are stepped with the taller part having a black top surface, which is a very nice design detail. The seconds hand is high-polish with a black tip. The Seiko logo and date window are applied while the minute track, "Chronos" logo and print at the bottom of the dial are in black. There are lume dots on the minute track but again they do not glow brightly. The Daini lightning bolt symbol at the bottom of the dial and on the case back indicates that this watch was designed and manufactured in the Daini factory during their fierce rivalry with the Suwa factory. The case has a nicely detailed fluted bezel reminiscent of a Rolex Date Just although rather than being a straight copy, Seiko made the rest of the case flatter with toned-down curves to differentiate and added a subtle crown guard. This makes the watch appear thinner with a thinness of only 8mm, shaving a third of the thickness compared to the Date Just. The 2D double wave symbol on the case back indicates that the watch had a stated water resistance between 100m-200m (single 2D wave indicates up to 50m, 3D single wave that looks more like Hokusai's wave indicates certified diver's 150m and up). Just like the SilverWave series, this Chronos also features a screw-down crown to aid with the water resistance (although you should treat ALL vintage watches, including this one, as having no water resistance unless professionally retested). The top surface is brushed while the sides are high-polish. It features the calibre 7433 movement that is a pretty sight compared to ugly plastic quartz movements that are common today. It keeps good time and the days of the week can be displayed in either Japanese Kanji or in English. All the days are in black apart from Saturday in blue and Sunday in red. Brand new battery fitted. Brand new alligator-style leather strap. The condition is very good for a watch that was made more than 40 years ago with minor general wear and a few scratches on the crystal but a spotless dial. The case back is also in pretty great condition which you don't tend to see on vintage watches of this age.
