According to most reliable online sites, Seiko introduced the 7N35 Analog Quartz movement in 1991. It became the "go-to" movement for Seiko mid-level timepieces because of its durability and affordability.

For Seiko Collectors and Vintage fans, this is a Seiko 7N35-6150 Military SUS in near-mint condition, and is highly sort after due to its unique maroon-red dial and champagne gold case.

The maroon dial, baton lumen indices, arrowhead lumen hands, date window and case are in immaculate condition after a good clean-up. Both indices and hand lumens are fully operable.

This simple yet beautifully shaped champagne gold case was also given a good rub while maintaining its super sexy curves and colour. Most imperfections were removed without compromising the case shape. The crystal is original and was given a good rub as well.

The crown is original and is located at the 4H position and is nicely tucked away yet easily accessible. The date and hands quickset works flawlessly by unscrewing the crown ala diver's style watch, pull out the crown to the first and second level respectively.

The quartz movement was carefully stripped, meticulously cleaned and its battery replaced in July 2023. It should be able to operate unhindered for the next couple of years thereby providing the owner peace of mind.

The case width and height are approximately 35.5mm (without crown) and 41.0mm respectively. The lug width is 18mm and the strap can accommodate wrists up to 21cm; hence, this watch is suitable for men and the modern women.

A two-tone genuine cowhide leather strap with built-in quick-release spring bars is provided. 

The watch is 100% original Seiko components from this particular watch. No parts were replaced with aftermarket parts.

Even though the seals and gaskets are present, this timepiece has not been water-resistant tested due to its age.

The pictures provided show the watch’s case in almost perfect condition and well maintained. The only drawback is the lack of documentation and original box. A nice purposeful carrying case or box will be provided instead.

Bear in mind that this watch has seen many of the previous owners’ ups and downs in life, and should be cherished and well taken care of for the next generation to savour such engineering beauty.

Yes, there are many other same models in the market, BUT almost all are not in the same quality condition and is well maintained as what you see here. Hence, it is a no-brainer that this one-of-a-kind timepiece will make an extremely beautiful birthday present for that special someone born in April 1996!

This is a highly sort-after Collectors Seiko 7N35-6150 maroon-red dial in stunning condition; so, be unique and wear something that is almost impossible to source.

This is a must-have for the Seiko die-hard fan, and in fact, any serious watch collector!
