[Timestamp](https://postimg.cc/N59kXfct) Hey Watchexchange! For the discerning Seiko enthusiast, this **January 1980 Seiko 5 (Ref. 6349-6050)**—nicknamed the **BMW Crosshair**—embodies a moment when **bold geometry, refined textures, and mechanical reliability** converged in one sharply executed package. This is a rare example featuring the high **23-jewel Cal. 6349** movement. Starting from the dial, it features the so-called **“BMW dial”**, defined by a **crosshair-style brushed texture** that catches and shifts with the light, creating **depth and quiet dynamism**. **Gold-tone dauphine hands** and a matching seconds hand sweep over an elegant index set: **gem-set markers** at 12, 6, and 9, with **polished gold ball-dot markers** completing the sequence. At 3 o’clock, a framed day-date complication rests under the protection of its **Hardlex crystal**. Inside, the **23-jewel automatic cal.6349** beats with the reliability of a true Seiko workhorse from the era. The stainless-steel **square TV case** wears a confident 36mm and is paired with its **original, rarely-seen bracelet**—bar-style links joined by three visible pins—a charming, unconventional, and quirky design **choice** that sets it apart from typical Seiko 5 offerings of its time. 🔹 Dimensions * Case Diameter: **36mm** (without crown) * Lug-to-Lug: **39mm** * Thickness: **9mm** * 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’re after a rare, high-jewel count vintage Seiko with a unique dial texture and original bracelet, this 6349-6050 delivers exceptional value and style.
