The SARY197 belongs to Seiko’s Seiko Presage “Style 60s” line, which draws heavy inspiration from Seiko’s 1960s vintage watches and classic dress-casual aesthetics.

Within the Presage collection, the Style 60s series (including SARY197) is positioned as a “Basic Line” / entry-level mechanical automatic — appealing to those who like heritage styling combined with modern reliability.

The SARY197 is the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) reference (also sold under model codes SRPG09 / SRPG09J / SRPG09J1). Its worldwide release was 10 June 2021, but it seems the JDM was released earlier.

In summary, the SARY197 is a modern Seiko mechanical watch with vintage-inspired styling, built to hit a sweet spot of price, reliability, heritage feel, and everyday wearability.

This watch comes with its original box, booklet and warranty card. And, in addition, a Carbon Fibre designed strap with black buckle is also provided as part of the deal.

Yes, there are many other same models in the market, but almost all are not in the same quality condition and as well maintained as what you see here. Hence, it is a no-brainer that this very rare JDM SARY 197 will make an extremely beautiful birthday present for that special someone born in May 1981.

This is a very lovely Black Dial Seiko Presage SARY197 4R35-05A0 Automatic '60s Sports / Swimmer's timepiece in near-mint condition; so, be unique and wear a watch that is almost impossible to source.
