A vintage Seiko automatic that's actually tougher than most of its peers — sapphire crystal included.
This 1997 Seiko 5 Superior is a genuine step up from the standard vintage Seiko: a 23-jewel automatic movement, day-date function, and diver-style rotating bezel, all protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal most vintage pieces simply don't have. The clean white dial and solid stainless steel construction make it as much a collector's automatic as a watch you could wear and rely on every day. It's also had a recent service and a light polish, so it's arriving ready to run, not just ready to look at.
