Seiko 5 Automatic 7009-7020 Two-Tone

The Seiko 5 Automatic 7009-7020 in its two-tone gold-and-steel form, on an integrated bracelet — the combination that has earned this reference its "Cartier style" nickname among collectors. The Seiko 5 line is the most quietly successful mechanical watch family ever made: automatic, day-date, water resistant, shock resistant, and built to be worn every day without ceremony. The 7009 calibre inside is a genuine workhorse, produced from around 1977 well into the 1990s. This one has been serviced and is running as it should.
