A striking and increasingly hard-to-find Seiko Chronograph featuring a textured deep blue dial with contrasting yellow chronograph sub-dials. This sporty and distinctive design is powered by Seiko's reliable V657 quartz chronograph movement and offers a fantastic blend of everyday practicality and vintage Seiko styling.
The watch is fitted with a modern dark blue silicone strap and presents beautifully on the wrist. The vibrant yellow registers against the blue dial create a unique colour combination rarely seen on Seiko chronographs of this period.
From the case back the watch reference is V657-9010. The serial number begins with 87, indicating manufacture in July 1998 (most likely) using Seiko's serial dating system.
The watch has been fully tested and is working correctly.

A superb late-1990s Seiko chronograph with a fantastic colour combination that stands out from the usual black-dial variants. An increasingly collectible reference that is becoming harder to source.
