Hey Watchexchange! Today we’re going back to **January 1978** with this beautiful **Seiko 5 "TV Dial."** This watch is a masterclass in 70s industrial design, featuring a bold square case and a unique horizontal dial configuration that is rarely seen in the wild. The dial is a stunning **champagne sunburst** that has developed a **beautiful, honest patina** over the last 45+ years. This light aging adds a warm, "stardust" character to the sunburst finish, proving its untouched vintage authenticity. It features incredibly detailed indices, slanted from both sides with a sharp **black stripe running through the middle**, perfectly matched by the **baton hands**. The **square TV case** is a time capsule of 1978 design, retaining its sharp industrial lines. It features its **original plexiglass crystal**, which provides that desirable vintage "warmth" and slight edge-distortion that modern sapphire just can't replicate. Inside beats the **21-jewel automatic Caliber 6319**. This is a higher-spec relative of the legendary 6309 movement, offering extra jewels for reduced friction and a longer mechanical life. This watch is a total "strap monster" and comes with two distinct looks: 1. A **blue-striped cream NATO strap** for a sporty, weekend vibe. 2. A **brand new brown leather strap** for a sophisticated, retro-office look. **🔹 Key Dimensions** * **Case Width:** 36.5mm (without crown) * **Lug-to-Lug:** 40mm * **Thickness:** 10mm * **Lug Width:** 20mm 💵 **Price: $135 shipped!** 📦 **Payment: PayPal F&F** or G&S (**+4.5% fee by buyer**) or **bank wire (US banks accepted)** 📩 **DM me for more pics or a custom timestamp.** If you want a 70s icon with a rare dial configuration and a bulletproof movement, the **Maverick TV** is a standout choice.
