Introducing
Seiko 5 6309-5080 "Dad"
Circa 1980
If my father was a Seiko 5, this would be him.
I would imagine in its hay day, Dad would be very stylish. Silver with a matte grey dial, chapter ring with stark white markers combed down leading to the silver hands making their way smoothly around the watch.
It's a handsome watch, and time has made it dignified. Everything remains as they should, except for signs of aging here and there. The bracelet loosened, the lume broke, the edge of the mineral glass worn and beaten.
But the dial remains, a reminder of what he used to be.
And in the collection he sits, patient and quiet. Like a father watching his child grow up.
