Seiko Weekdater 6218-8970 circa 1964
Both Seiko and Grand Seiko were too good in the 1960s as these case shapes and designs were way ahead of their time. The silver burst dial is almost perfect as well as the vibrant alpha hands and markers along with the day and date windows. On bracelet, this is a statement piece, on leather—also a killer.
The hacking automatic movement had quickset day using the “windshield wiper” method: moving from 10pm to 2am (right left right left right). While no service history, the watch is smooth and running approximately +17seconds a day (your experience may vary)

Specifications: 37mm case is gold capped X 44.5h X 11,5cc with acrylic X 19mm lug width bracelet which looks original to the watch due to matching color and patina with the case as well as matching other examples but unsigned. It is quite long but we only recommend this watch for 7.5in and under for easy fit and look
Box and papers: no
video is the best way to view the watch if in-person test drive is not available. Due to the different characteristics of the cameras and gadgets used, the color of the watch you purchase may not be the same as shown on this website or on our Instagram.
will consider trades that make sense but please consider time, shipping, and trade value—not market.

All sales are final unless the watch is misrepresented or lost in transit (always fully insured). Lbwc does not offer warranty but some watches come with factory cards;- with transferable warranty. Purchases may take 1-2 business days to process and ship.
