Vintage Seiko Spirit Watch 7N43-7180 Snowflake JDM Quartz 2009


€85,00 EUR

This is why Seiko was still so fantastic in the 2000's, the dials were simply great. This Vintage Seiko Quartz watch with a fantastic “snowflake” dial is a great example!

This concerns the reference 7N43-7180 which is a JDM (Japan Domestic Market) model from 1999. This is model SCDC001 from the 2007 catalog, priced at 21,000 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 and works great.. The watch, case and original bracelet  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. The watch comes on an aftermarket bracelet that fits up to ~17cm.

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.

Shipping Courier

- I mainly use PostNL (Dutch National Postal Company) - this means that the package could be delivered by your national parcel company when it arrived in your co

What if the parcel gets lost or stolen?

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
  • Protected against fall damage
  • Protected against water damage
  • Has neutral packaging to prevent theft
  • We only ship watches in BOXES not in ENVELOPS as we believe boxes are way less often lost by shipping companies.

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 :)
