**Model**: Seiko 8M32-8000 **Year**: October 1988 **Video**: [Click here to see a video of the watch in action](https://www.instagram.com/p/C8Wh8xVof48/) **Features**: ***- The Dial***: Released in the late 1980s and it absolutely looks the part. A wonderful array of colours and patterns adorn the dial with such confidence that you almost assume the shape has some sort of meaning. It absolutely doesn’t, but you’ve got to admire the punchiness of this design choice. The various sports around the edge of the dial do have a meaning though - each one is positioned next to the minutes that signify one half or quarter of play in that respective sport. ***- The Movement***: It’s a chronograph with just an hour and minute hand. “But a chronograph without a second hand to count the seconds is stupid…”, and luckily Seiko agrees! When you turn the crown to “Chronograph” mode the minute hand becomes a second hand, and the hour hand becomes a minute hand. Flick it back to “Time” mode and the hands effortlessly glide back into their respective temporal places. But perhaps the oddest mode is “Timer” mode; the pushers are used to set a timer between 1-60 minutes, and an alarm sounds at the end. Pretty straightforward. The odd part? The hands tick backwards. It’s a true countdown timer. This is essentially a digital watch with an analogue face (and a great looking analogue face at that). **The Condition**: It has a few bumps, scratches and dings, but it in good overall condition. The most important condition to check is the operation of the movement – I’m pleased to confirm everything works, including the alarm noise! **Scope**: No box or papers. **Movement**: 8M32 Quartz Chronograph **Case Width**: 37.5mm **Case Thickness**: 8.4mm **Price**: Offered at **$600** plus shipping.
