Vintage 1965 Seiko 6217-8000 Serviced 62MAS Rare JDM Divers Watch Original

First launched in 1965, the Seiko 62MAS was the brand’s original debut in the underwater world, and it served as the foundation for countless other Seiko dive watches that would be released during the years that followed. With its utilitarian appearance, highly legible dial, and clean case shape without crown guards, the Seiko Diver 62MAS embodies everything that we love about early dive watches.
 
The example available here is in great condition, a must have for any serious collector. Made in April 1965, it shows signs of use and age especially on the bezel insert, but no abuse. The all original dial lume is in amazing original condition. Hand lume has faded over the last 50+ years and no loner glows.  Fitted with new premium Uncle Seiko Tropic strap and fat spring bars.
 
Just serviced and keeping very good time, quick set date also working perfectly. Case back and crown seals were replaced as part of the service but the Watch was not pressure tested, so not currently waterproof. 
 
At some point in its life this Watch has had the early small crown replaced with an original large crown from a 6217-8001.
 
We (Tempo Prima) are the sole Australian dealer for Uncle Seiko Products with a large range available on our website, if you would prefer a different strap please talk to us.
 
Please study the photos and video carefully as they show the condition of the watch in more detail.
 
Owning a Vintage Watch:
Mechanical watches may not keep perfect time like a battery-powered watch. In addition, they do require service occasionally.
Since these pieces are vintage or pre-owned, please expect wear and patina from past usage and age.
If dropped, mishandled or otherwise abused, the movement or other parts of the watch can be damaged. Please handle with care. 
 
We hope you enjoy this item and wear it in good health for years to come!
