This Seiko SilverWave H357-5140 is a time capsule from the early 1980s, a perfect example of what happened when Seiko’s incredible engineering met a bold, futuristic design. This isn’t just a watch; it's a piece of horological history, one of the brand's first true ana-digital watches. It seamlessly blends a classic analog display with a digital one, creating a unique look that feels like it’s straight out of a sci-fi flick. It's tough, stylish, and a must-have for any vintage tech enthusiast.
Powering this innovative timepiece is the reliable Seiko Quartz H357 movement. The robust stainless steel case, with its exposed bezel screws, and matching integrated bracelet give it a rugged, tool-watch feel that’s still elegant on the wrist. The "SilverWave" designation wasn't just a cool name; it was Seiko's early mark for serious water resistance in its quartz lineup. For its age, the watch is in fantastic, well-preserved condition, with a clean dial and a very solid feel.
This rare timepiece is a genuine Japanese Domestic Market gem, offered as a watch-only set on its original bracelet. For collectors who appreciate technological firsts and bold, 1980s design, this Seiko SilverWave is a true find. It’s an ideal piece for anyone looking to own a significant part of Seiko’s history and an iconic collectible quartz watch.
