[ Product Overview ]

This is a highly collectible vintage "SEIKOSHA EMPIRE" mechanical open-face pocket watch, manufactured by Seikosha (now Seiko). It features a beautifully aged, dual-tone gold and champagne patina dial with classic black Arabic numerals and a dedicated small second sub-dial track. Housed in a polished silver-tone base metal case with a 44mm diameter, this piece showcases early 20th-century Japanese horological history and craftsmanship.

[ Item Condition & Status ]

Status: Currently Not Running (Junk / For Parts / As-Is)
The mechanical manual-wind movement is currently non-running and is being sold strictly as a Junk / For Parts item. Please note that the front acrylic/glass crystal is entirely missing (風防ガラス無し) and the small sub-dial second hand is also missing (秒針無し). The hour and minute hands remain attached but show signs of natural oxidation. The silver-tone case and case back exhibit hairline scratches, minor scuffs, and edge pitting consistent with its significant age. Due to its antique nature, missing components, and current non-running state, this item is sold completely "AS-IS". We cannot provide any guarantees or warranties regarding its future operation, component viability, or internal condition. Perfect for professional restoration, vintage watch repair practice, or historical display.
