Seiko · ref 7002-700A · 1988–1996
The 7002 replaced the 6309 divers in 1988 and ran until 1996, when the SKX007 took over. It uses the slim round case that started on the 7548 and carried on from the 6309-7290, about 41mm across, 45mm lug to lug and 13mm thick, so it wears small for a dive watch. Seiko dropped the day display along with the 6309 movement, which leaves a clean date-only dial with simple rectangular markers. The 7002 caliber is a 17-jewel automatic with a quick-set date and no hand-winding. Monochrome counts seven variations, and the rating went from 150m on early versions to 200m on later ones, with black and Pepsi bezels along the way, so make sure the 700A you're looking at matches its own caseback. Fratello's writer calls the 7002 the grandpappy of modded watches and needed three tries to find a correct one. A clean original still often costs less than an SKX007, and it makes a lovely everyday vintage diver.
Most 7002s for sale have aftermarket dials, hands or bezels, including fake dials with wrong codes or off fonts. Original lume often turns grey and grainy, and a watchmaker told Fratello's writer he sees 7002 movements as close to disposable.
Buying guide
For a 7002 to wear, we'd take the Japan-listed 700A titled working on a new strap at $326 delivered, or the similar one at $383 if that sells first. There are about 16 for sale, nearly all shipping from Japan, and most ask $360–440 delivered with $16–141 of shipping in that, so allow for import fees. Most 7002s carry aftermarket dials, hands or bezels, so compare the dial fonts and codes with known originals, check that the caseback reads 7002-700A, and remember it's a 17-jewel, date-only watch. Check the seller's feedback and return policy on the item page, since eBay's search cards don't show them, and skip the $623 US listing titled 21J day/date, which doesn't match a 7002 and asks about $180 over the band.
$325.99est. delivered
