Rare Seiko Dot-Matrix Display System wrist watch from 1980
Friday, October 17th, 2008Here’s a rather unusual dot-matrix wrist watch from my own collection.
The watch was made in 1980 by Seiko, and is apparently rather rare - in fact I haven’t been able to find much background information about this watch - neither on previous eBay sales or collector sites.
The very slick and thin design reminds me of a 1980’s robocop / wallstreet-yuppie clone! The watch only have 2 functions; watch and date + light. Pressing the date button shows the date, and scrolls in the time from right to left - extremely nice, but very battery consuming.
Mine is not for sale.
