Today I’m listing a beautifully preserved piece of horological history from **March 1979**. This Seiko 5, nicknamed **"The Alpine Railway,"** is a rare "hybrid" design—it wears like a refined dress watch but features a technical, military-inspired dial configuration. The dial is a **pristine white sunburst** that remains incredibly crisp for its 47-year age. It features a unique **inner 24-hour "Railway Time" scale** with a distinct **"3-box" minute track** between each hour marker. The **baton indices** and hands feature their **original luminous material**. Being a true vintage piece, the lume still charges and **glows in the dark**, though it does not stay lit for a long time—an honest characteristic of its age and untouched condition. The handset is a standout: classic **baton hands** paired with a **striking black second hand** featuring a distinct **arrow-tip**for high-precision tracking. The case design is equally well-executed, featuring a **polished bezel ring** that pops against the **matte-finished case body**. With the signature Seiko 5 crown tucked at **4 o'clock** and a sharp **day-date window at 3**, it maintains a sleek and balanced silhouette. Inside beats the bulletproof **17-jewel Caliber 7009 automatic movement**. I’ve paired this piece with a **brand new black leather strap**, which perfectly complements the black accents on the dial and that iconic arrow hand. **🔹 Key Dimensions** * **Case Diameter:** 37mm * **Lug-to-Lug:** 42mm * **Thickness:** 11mm * **Lug Width:** 18mm 💵 **Price: $145 shipped!** 📦 **Payment: PayPal F&F** or G&S (**+4.5% fee by buyer**) or **bank wire (US banks accepted)** 📩 **DM me for more photos or a custom timestamp.** If you want a vintage Seiko with a technical soul and a crisp "Alpine" look, this is a fantastic entry into the world of 70s Seikos.
