1982 Vintage Seiko 5 7009-870J "Sergeant"


Introducing
Seiko 5 7009-870J "Sergeant"
Circa 1982

No nonsense. That's what I think this watch is. And hardball. And tough.

Large arabic numerals make no mistake when telling the time, the thick baton hands pointing where they're supposed to.


The gold hands hint at the hidden side of Sergeant - on closer inspection, like more tough guys, there is refinement. The numerals are lined with a gold border, offering a treat to whoever takes a closer look.


And with time, you get over the crude, utilitarian outlook and start to appreciate the beauty in something that is made to last.
