Very nice, interesting I had thought Seiko only made Electronic balance watches between 1972 to 1974. Here's an image of mine!

Is it me or maybe because I was born in the late ‘70’s that I gravitate towards this design. The case is so lack of a better word “cool classy” 😎

Agreed, I think for me everything back in the 70s was designed to what we thought the future would look like so lots of space/ sci-fi- ish design with lots of curves and rounded edges. Funny thing is I think people back in the 70s where a bit optimistic about how the future would look, it certainly ain't as cool as they thought it would be 😅 I was made in 1987 but yet love the 60/70s stuff.
That case brushing is immaculate! Are these electrics straight forward to service or do you need to find a specialist?

Thanks, no you could well be right, I think I just read that somewhere!

I think a decent watch maker should be able to service one, the issue would if a replacement part was needed, as these movements have been out of production for around 50 years. I haven't had mine serviced as the watch cost about £90 in total from Japan & a service would be about twice what it is worth. Mine run at +15 spd though so not too bad & I'm not sure a service would make much difference to the timekeeping. I think it's worth getting one though as they are a cool piece of history/technology that didn't catch on due to Quartz movements!
