1970 Seiko Mechanical Stopwatch - Ref 88-5020 - Split Function - Good Condition

Explore precise timing from January 1970 with this vintage Seiko mechanical stopwatch, reference 88-5020. In the pre-digital age, Seiko was renowned for producing reliable and accurate mechanical timers like this one, essential tools across various fields. This model features a clear white dial with black markings for easy reading, showcasing a large central seconds hand and a sub-dial registering up to 30 elapsed minutes. Operated by its robust mechanical movement, it utilizes the top crown likely for start/stop/reset and the side pusher potentially enabling split or lap timing functionality.

This stopwatch is presented in good vintage condition. The dial remains in good, clean condition with clear printing. The original acrylic crystal is in great condition, free from significant marks. The classic chrome plated or steel case is also in good vintage condition, showing only light signs of handling and age appropriate wear. The watch has been tested and is both fully functioning correctly, with the start, stop, reset, and any split/lap functions operating as expected via the crown and pusher. Please review the photos for details on its condition.

A fine example of Seiko's mechanical timing instruments from 1970. This functional stopwatch offers a tangible connection to horological history and Seiko's legacy in precision timing, presented in good working order.
