Seiko 7005-7080R | Burgundy Sunburst Dial | 1970s Japan
A watch that captures the quiet confidence of 1970s Japan — the Seiko 7005-7080R pairs timeless design with a colour rarely seen in the brand’s vintage lineup.
The burgundy sunburst dial shifts beautifully under light, moving from deep wine tones to warm plum hues — a finish that sets this reference apart from its contemporaries.
Housed in a 39mm cushion case (excluding crown) with 20mm lugs, this piece wears elegantly while retaining its original Seiko proportions. Powered by Seiko’s dependable 7005 automatic movement with a quick-set date function, it delivers both reliability and heritage charm.
Every component remains 100% original — dial, hands, crystal, case, and bracelet — preserved in remarkable condition. The original Seiko folded-link bracelet completes the look, giving it authentic presence on the wrist.
A stunning example of Seiko’s golden mechanical era — rarely found, especially with a burgundy dial of this quality.
