Description: SERVICED EXCELLENT SEIKO 1981 VINTAGE SPYH017 7548-700C (ORANGE 7548-7000/BIG 6458-600A) PROFESSIONAL DIVER QUARTZ JAPAN ORIGINAL PARTS Item description Disclaimer: I am just an enthusiast and admirer of the brand. I do NOT represent the brand or its products in any way. This model is a first stage of evolution from the best-selling automatic diver's watch with more reliable quartz movement.The series of evolution originally started in 1978 with the 7548-7000/ 6458-6000 equipped with the 7548/ 6458 movement. And it had eventually completed its process as 7C43-7010/ 7C43-6010 in 1985 with a new type of movement. And among them, 7548-700C was manufactured as an orange dial variant of 7548 diver series from 1978. Equipped with a high-grade jeweled quartz movement and reliable 150m water resistance, thanks to its rugged case construction, this watch ensures precise timekeeping in any condition. It is an ideal companion for both daily life and daring underwater adventures. Renowned for its exceptional accuracy and reliability during its era, it was cherished by divers and water sports enthusiasts alike. SEIKO later introduced the 7548-7010/ 6458-6020 with a 200-meter waterproof rating, and through continuous trial and error, they produced the improved new movement and waterproof mechanism in the form of the 7C43-7010/ 7C43-6010 in 1985. This 7C43 series is known for its exceptional visibility, accuracy, waterproofing, magnetic resistance, ease of operation, and maintenance, being used by professionals like the Japanese Coast Guard and Maritime Self-Defense Force, highlighting its high reliability. Later, the 7C43 series ultimately reached one of its ultimate forms with the improved Lumibrite-equipped 7C43-6011.Subsequently, Seiko's quartz divers were replaced by models featuring solar movements and perpetual calendar movements with better maintenance capabilities. Unlike other models, this one features a vibrant orange dial housed in a large cushion-like case, giving it an iconic and distinctive look.Combined with its reliable construction and movement, this timepiece is an ideal choice for those seeking vintage charm without compromising on practical performance.This model was exclusively sold in the Japanese domestic market for a limited timeframe. As a result, it has an extremely limited circulation, making it a highly sought-after and rare collector's item.Finding this valuable watch in such excellent condition is truly a challenge. Highly recommended for SEIKO enthusiasts and collectors!
