What we love about this watch the most, is the bracelet - it has a very, dare I say, Gerald Genta look. The Dial is so 1970s retro in blue dial with a day/date window at 3 o clock. The alarm is switched on and off by the top button and when this is depressed in, it is also used to set the date when pushed in. The crown also adjusts the alarm setting ring on its first click and the obvious setting of the time on the second click. Fabulous retro styling and excellent condition with this used Seiko very collectible and a top investment. The main crown is used to wind up the alarm when in its neutral position whilst the running of the watch is the automatic movement only. It really does use a little hammer to bang away when it goes off. It has a much more rugged look than a Memovox. I particularly like how they designed the red alarm display on the dial. This is a very unusual beast and it always amazes me how they cram so much mechanics into a case to include a mechanical alarm. As soon as I saw this watch I knew, I've got to have it in my new slowly growing Vintage Seiko inventory.
