Vintage 1971 Seiko 7017-8000 Serviced Pulsimeter Watch All Original
The 7017-8000 featured a “flyback” function that allowed for the chronograph sweep to be reset without having to first stop the mechanism. This particular model is the seldom seen Pulsimeter Doctors Watch. The Pulsimeter is designed to read a patient’s heart rate. Start the chronograph timer and count 15 beats of yours or your patients heartbeat, stop the chronograph and you can read the heart rate in beats per minute on the dials scale.
This particular example dates from April 1971 and has a truly gorgeous original dial with amazing original lume and unfaded red chronograph hand. Watch retains its very comfortable and correct XAA531 bracelet and clasp. This Watch has not been refinished or polished and has its original factory brushing visible.
Just serviced by us and keeping very good time, quick set day and date also working perfectly. This Watch has not been pressure tested, so not currently waterproof.
We (Tempo Prima) are the 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 do 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!
