A rare reference, this oversized Tank is one of the biggest “value props” on the vintage market. Bought this earlier in the year from a great buyer here on WatchEx, but unfortunately just do not find myself getting it out of the box so hoping someone else can enjoy this great little Seiko. The dial is in near mint condition with no fading/damage or scratches. * Reference Number: 5Y30-5090 * Production Year/Month: February 1991 * Size: Dial 36mm | Case 39mm | Lug to Lug 41mm | Lug Width 20mm * Condition: Dial condition is pristine | Case has minor hairline scratches | No dings/dents/damage to the case * Comes with the original factory Seiko buckle with an aftermarket Hirsch strap * Additional dark blue Tommy Hilfiger strap also included * There are no supporting documents/papers or the box, the watch will be delivered in an aftermarket box and safely secured with plenty of bubble wrap * Priced to sell at $200USD shipped CONUS Photos & Timestamp: [https://imgur.com/a/wKlqnJa](https://imgur.com/a/wKlqnJa)

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
