1983 SEIKO SQ 100

 A wish come true!

I've been wanting an 80's octagonal watch for a long time; in this post you can see my '83 Seiko SQ-100, inherited from my grandfather at the beginning of 2025.

Unfortunately a very old battery was inside and produced acid in little quantity; watch-repairer here in my town opened the watch, cleaned and lubricated the mechanism and made the Seiko perfectly working!
Overall watch is a little bit worn, glass has many scratches, same for the steel.

Watch-repairer told me the story of the SQ 100 movement:

at the time, 80's, Seiko watches that mounted SQ 100 movements were excellent and expensive watches, thought for ""extreme"" situations and for the sports in particular; Water Resistant obvuiosly.

Now in 2025, after 42 years, internal gasket is probably dried and consequentially keeping the watch far from water is a good idea!

Some ugly pics of the watch:

















A very elegant/stylish and thin watch;  a pearl from the 80's!
