Seiko 5 Automatic 7S26-01V0 | Cal. 7S26 | 21 Jewels
A classic that does more than just tell the time.
Seiko's "5 Series" tradition, initiated in the 1960s, is the series that introduced the brand globally by combining automatic movements with everyday durability.
The Ref. 7S26-01V0 is one of the most mature interpretations of this tradition from the late 1990s—reliable, functional, and timeless.
The repeating "5" pattern on the dark navy blue dial symbolizes a modern touch.

Movement - Seiko Cal. 7S26
Seiko's legendary 7S26 caliber is one of the cornerstones that strengthens the brand's tradition of automatic watches.
Its rotor-assisted winding system, 21-jewel mechanical mechanism, and robust gearing ensure long-lasting wear.
It generates energy with the movement of the wrist, eliminating the need for a crown—a perfect balance of simplicity and engineering.
Design and Aesthetics
The embossed Seiko 5 monogram texture on the navy blue dial defines the model's character. The gray-blue gradients that change with the light add depth to the watch.
