Vintage Seiko Watch Spirit 7N48-7000 Frosted Dial Quartz JDM 1995


€95,00 EUR

This is why Seiko was still so fantastic in the 1990s, the dials were simply great. This is also the case with this vintage Seiko watch with a fantastic “snowflake” dial. This concerns the reference 7N48-7000 which is a JDM (Japan Domestic Market) model from 1993. This is model SCDC001 from the 1996 catalog, priced at 20,000 Yen back then. It has a 5 ATM water resistance rating, but I would not recommend swimming or diving with this vintage watch.

Watch was fitted with a new battery in June 2024. The watch, case and strap have been ultrasonically cleaned and are therefore completely neat again. The time sets smoothly and so does quicksetting the day- and date through the crown. I wish more of these Seiko's were in this condition! This one comes on it's original bracelet, which has seen better times, the previous owner definetly wore it!

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

This means you'll be able to receive a full refund if the watch ends up to be confirmed stolen or lost by the carrier.

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

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 :)
