Picked up this Seiko Kinetic 5M42-0B80 on eBay the other day after seeing another user post their one on Reddit. It's pretty fun and only cost me £30. After a good clean up with an ultrasonic cleaner it's looking nice and shiny. 😀

Very neat and a bargain at that price! Is the pusher to cycle the date?

The button is the power reserve indicator. When you push it, the seconds hand jumps forward a certain amount depending on how much power is left in the capacitor. A fairly unique feature of Seiko kinetic watches as far as I know!
