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 8N41-5050 aswell, marked 'High Standard Version' and was priced accordingly back then! I'd say the tank style with really nice dial make this an underrated gem.

There is two main factors that made this was expensive model in 1989; the special case coating and the high-grade caliber.

  • The 8N41 movement was a high-grade caliber used also in Seiko Dolce with ±20 seconds/year accuracy. 
  • The case is specified as TGP-MCAO - This means the case has a gold plated bezel and cobalt hard alloy combined.

This Seiko Session is in great shape, minor damages on crown and caseback but the case and bracelet are in really good, almost mint condition! Watch has been cleaned and received a fresh battery.

This is model SATG013 costing ¥44,000 in 1990!

All your questions answered

Are these Genuine Seiko Watches?

Yes - all watches offered on WatchEra are 100% genuine.

I have been collecting Seiko & Watches for over 10 years, had over 1500 different seiko's passed through my hands, are actively contributing to forums & groups and carefully - I even own a bunch of Seiko Catalogs & Books to use as reference.

  • If parts are replaced (like strap or crystal) this is always mentioned in the description.
  • I do not sell "redials", "mumbai specials" "seiko mods" or other franken-watches related.
  • To proof the authenticity, I'll give you all references available, the original model number and a picture of how the watch was depicted in the original vintage seiko dealer catalog.

Feel free to ask me any specific questions about vintage Seiko watches.

3 Months Warranty - How does it work?

All watches sold on WatchEra are working and any details important to the functionality are mentioned.

I do stand behind the quality of the watches that I sell and therefor offer a 3 month warranty on the movement.

At WatchEra - every watch that hits the store is checked by myself personally or by one of the watchmakers I work with.

However - most watches sold are used, vintage and sometimes very old wristwatches. Generally speaking I'm not aware of the (service) history or water resistance but will describe the current condition as transparant as possible.

Rules Apply. Read more here.

Will you ship worldwide?

Yes, I ship watches worldwide WatchEra sells watches to watch fans all over the world daily, I've sold to over 30 different countries.

I only ship watches 100% insured up to the purchase amount

Will the watch arrive safely?

Yes, I've learned how to properly protect and ship watches worldwide and you don't have to worry about the watch being damaged or defunct during shipping.

Your watch will be:

  • Well-packed in neutral carton box

Return-Costs are for the buyer.

How are you able to offer so much Vintage Seiko Watches?

That's the secret of the smith ofcourse, but to give a small insight:

I've been collecting vintage Seiko Watches myself for over 10 years and over the years I've built a net work of fellow seiko-collectors, watch resellers and other companies and individuals that are able to consistently offer high-quality genuine vintage Seiko's to me, mainly from Asia & Japan.

Next to that, I use alot of the same platforms that you might use and local marketplaces, watch fairs & auctions.

Also, do note that Seiko was one of the booming and most succesful watch companies throughout the 70s and 80s and millions of Seikos were produced & sold - my skill is finding the right ones for you :)
