Vintage 1980 Seiko 7548-700B Serviced JDM Divers Watch Original Patina
Presenting an Original Seiko 7548 diver’s watch from June 1980, with a beautifully naturally faded bezel and great natural patina overall. This Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) piece features both English and Kanji day displays, with smooth hacking and quickset functions for both day and date, all operating flawlessly. The watch keeps excellent time, having just received a full service, including new seals and a genuine Seiko battery.
Condition is good, showing signs of use and age, but with no damage. This watch retains its original factory parts, with a factory finish on the case (not re-polished). It’s fitted with a Bambi Japan bracelet.
The recent full service (Jan/25) included fitting a new Seiko battery and precision testing on a Seiko quartz tester, confirming outstanding accuracy (photos available). The quick-set day and date function as they should, as does the hacking feature and screw-down crown. New seals were installed, but the watch hasn’t been pressure-tested, so waterproof status is not guaranteed.
We (Tempo Prima) are the sole Australian dealer for Uncle Seiko Products with a large range available on our website, if you would prefer a different strap please talk to us.Please study the photos and video carefully as they show the condition of the watch in more detail.
Owning a Vintage Watch:
Vintage watches may not keep perfect time like a modern battery-powered watch. In addition, they do require service occasionally.
Since these pieces are vintage or pre-owned, please expect wear and patina from past usage and age.
If dropped, mishandled or otherwise abused, the movement or other parts of the watch can be damaged. Please handle with care.
We hope you enjoy this Watch and wear it in good health for years to come!
