Vintage 1986 Seiko 5 Ladies’ Automatic — Ref. 4206-0500 — Original Steel Bracelet — Day/Date
Up for sale is a classic Seiko 5 Ladies' Automatic from the mid-80s. This model is highly regarded for its reliability and its "all-steel" sports-chic aesthetic. Unlike many vintage pieces that have had their straps replaced over the years, this watch remains on its original, factory-signed Seiko stainless steel bracelet.
Key Features & Condition:
Movement: Seiko Caliber 4206 Automatic. A robust 17-jewel movement featuring both automatic winding and manual hand-winding capability—a rare and convenient feature for a watch of this size.
Case & Bracelet: Solid stainless steel construction. The integrated bracelet is original to the watch and features the signature Seiko-stamped clasp.
Dial: Clean silver sunburst dial with applied baton indices and a dual-language (English/French) day-date window at 3 o'clock.
Production Date: May 1986 (Serial No. 652233).
Functionality: Quick-set day/date is fully operational. The movement is visible through the caseback photo and appears well-maintained.
Collector's Note:
The 4206 series is the successor to the earlier hi-beat movements, designed for better shock resistance and easier servicing. This is an "honest" vintage piece—unpolished and original—making it a perfect addition for a Seiko enthusiast who values authenticity.
Watch is sold as-is. Please see high-resolution photos for cosmetic condition, including light surface wear consistent with age.
