[WTS] 7A28-7090 1980s Seiko “Yacht Timer” featuring the World’s First Quartz Analogue Chronograph
**Model**: Seiko 7A28-7090 **Year**: May 1983 **Features**: **Video**: [Click here to see a video of the watch in action](https://www.instagram.com/p/C8UHPukIttL/) ***- The Dial***: Three subdials, all differently styled, with the 30-minute chrono-timer being the standout attraction; royal blues with a complimentary yellow minute hand. The 3 o’clock subdial is a 1/10th of a second counter, and the 6 o’clock subdial is the live second hand. ***- The Case***: This stands alone as the only vintage-y “field” watch style case in the 7A28 line up. Bead-blasted stainless steel, like the Ripley, but with curved matchstick lugs. Combined with the huge chrono-pushers, you end with a very unique looking watch! ***- The Movement***: Inside is a 7A28, famous for not only being the world’s first analogue chronograph movement, but also being used in some of Seiko’s best known quartz offerings: the Ripley, the RAF, the Bond, the Steering Wheel, and the Bishop to name a few. Honestly, the most impressive thing about this 40+ year old watch is how perfectly it functions. While editing the video for this watch, at 60fps, I was delighted to see that the chronograph main-hand, the 1/10th subdial, and the 30-minute subdial all move together on the same frame. Maybe I’m easily impressed, but I thought it was cool that Seiko nailed the coordinated accuracy on the first iteration. **The Condition**: It’s in great condition overall. Everything is functions correctly and smoothly, as it was recently serviced. The crystal is the original shape but has been upgraded to sapphire and is flawless. The bead-blasted case has a few minor markings. The case back has lots of hairline scratches. The strap is not original. **Scope**: No box or papers. **Movement**: 7A28 Quartz Chronograph **Case Width**: 40.0mm **Case Thickness**: 11.7mm **Lug width**: 20mm **Price**: Offered at **$2050** plus shipping. Bank Wire, Wise.com, PayPal or Shopify via my website are accepted. Not accepting trades. Fees paid by you. **Of note**: Nothing to report.
