Some of The Best Vintage Seiko 5 Models

Seiko is one of those brands that an entire collection could be focused on, either vintage or modern.

Fartello Watches compiled an interesting list, and I'll share some of the images below.

I’ve never seen a mesh bracelet with curved and links that meet the case like the last photo. That’s really cool. Thanks for sharing Rommel.

Thanks for posting this. I read the article. I like what Seiko has been doing with 5’s lately. Dipping into history and adding some unique modern touches.

Baco Noir It's definitely rare, I've seen it on a few other vintage pieces but always appreciate not having the gap between the springbar and lugs when possible. The other watch I saw this on was a vintage Ulysse Nardin which was in my watch list a year or two ago.

muckymark I'm so happy they're doing this, a lot of these watches I never saw before. With reissues coming it's very likely I'll have to get another Seiko or two, because some of the vintage ones aren't always easy to find in decent shape or sell at auction for more than I'm willing to pay (eBay).

Having the vintage styling with modern durability is ideal for worry free enjoyment. The old ones can take a beating, clearly, but to me it's a piece of history.
