SEIKO DX

DX - an acronym for the word Deluxe. From the branding dictionary: "DX (Sub-Brand) - A line of inexpensive Seiko Automatics consisting predominantly (but not exclusively) of caliber 6106 (a, b & c) & 70xx caliber powered automatics, produced during the 1960's, 70's & early 80's."

Basically, Seiko produced Deluxe watches to experiment with sophisticated and wild designs to offer watches with luxury character and at the same time, watches generally affordable with exclusive designs.

Some Seiko collectors say that DX is always meant as an extension to Seiko 5, plus the hacking mechanism (center second hand that could be stopped "or hacked" by pulling out the crown).

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.

The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
It will be carefully packed.
