Seiko Porte SASR009 Ref. 5P30-5G00 - December 1986
In this "Porte" model, the hour markers have been relocated to the wide metal frame surrounding the crystal. Double lines denote the cardinal directions, while single lines mark the other hours; the dial itself features only the numerals 12 and 6 in a gold tone. What distinguishes the watch’s small, rectangular face is the way the elements used to read the time are distributed between the dial and the case frame.

This model appears in period records as the SASR009 / 5P30-5G00, with a retail price of ¥38,000. The serial number 6D0118, found on the case back, confirms its production date as December 1986.
The silver-toned dial features a vertically brushed finish that shifts in shade depending on the angle of the light. A slender, gold-toned rectangular line traces the contours of the case within the dial area. The faceted, pointed hands also catch the light from various angles. The absence of a second hand and a date window preserves the clean, uncluttered layout. The "Porte" branding is positioned at the top, while a small "SEIKO" signature appears at the bottom.
The beveled edges of the crystal create a distinct sense of depth around the dial. The hour markers on the outer frame and the gold-toned line on the inner dial sit on either side of this beveled edge, giving the watch face despite its compact dimensions a layered, multi-dimensional appearance.
Measuring approximately 25 mm in width, the case combines silver and gold tones. The inscriptions "BASE METAL / ST. STEEL BACK" on the case back indicate that the watch case is crafted from a base metal, while the case back is made of stainless steel. A gold-tone crown and bar-style strap attachments stand out against the wide, silver-tone bezel.
Inside, the 3-jewel Seiko Calibre 5P30A quartz movement displays only the hours and minutes. Its slim construction measuring approximately 2.2 mm in thickness is a key technical detail that enables the watch’s slender profile.
On this particular piece, the brushed texture of the dial, along with the numerals and printed details, remains clearly defined; the case surfaces show light signs of wear. The original strap has been replaced with a new, genuine calfskin leather strap in black. The watch comes complete with a Seiko-signed buckle and a Seiko presentation box.
Final Thoughts
The elegance of the SASR009 stems from the balance between its broad metal bezel and minimalist dial. With hour markers extending beyond the crystal, beveled crystal edges, a two-tone aesthetic, and the slim 5P30A movement, this 1986 "Porte" model possesses a distinct, geometric character.
