Model Session 'High Standard Version'

Reference 5E31-5A70


In some cases Seiko marked specific models differently to point out they are higher-grade. This started in 1960 when they graded their dials "Special Dial" for example - and this is the case with this Vintage Seiko Session watch with Reference 5E31-5A70 aswell, marked 'High Standard Version' and was priced accordingly back then!

It's a really nice rectangular 30mm stainless steel with gold pate case with matching original bracelet which can be easily adjusted to your size. The white dial has a very subtle pattern like a white plastered wall and the crown is signed with 'S' from Session.

The quality is mainly in the caliber, because at this time Seiko was able to produce high-quality quartz watches. Around 1988 they started to measure the accuracy in seconds per year, instead of per month - this partly mechanical caliber has 3 jewels and a  ±20 seconds/year accuracy.

Watch has been cleaned and received a fresh battery. This is model SATW011 costing 38,000 Yen in 1990!
