Identification &Amp; Authenticity
The Supplied Caseback Details Are 6349-503A With Serial Number 270343.
The 6349-503A Reference Is Documented As Belonging To Seiko'S Cal. 6349 Family, And Surviving
Examples Of This Exact Reference Have Movements Marked 6349A / 23 Jewels / Japan.
This Is Significant Because The Movement Should Therefore Be Catalogued As Cal. 6349A, 23 Jewels,
Rather Than 6309A. A Documented 6349-503A Example Of Approximately 35.5Mm Also Carries The
Same Distinctive Tv-Style Configuration.
Serial 270343 Indicates A Production Month Of July In A Year Ending In 2. Documented Examples Of
This 6349-503A Family Date To 1982, Supporting July 1982 For This Watch.
No Original Purchase Documentation, Service Records Or Manufacturer Authentication Accompany The
Watch. Originality Of Individual Components And The Nature Of The Dial-Set Stones Have Not Been
Independently Verified.
Design Context
This Model Displays Particularly Distinctive Early-1980S Seiko Styling, Combining A Broad Tv-Style
Case, Squared Dial Opening, Integrated Bracelet Appearance And Decorative Gold-Tone Dial.
The Diamond-Style Hour Markers Give The Watch A More Dress-Oriented Appearance Than
Conventional Seiko 5 Models Of The Period. Comparable 6349-503A Examples Are Documented With
This Unusual Dial Treatment And 35–36Mm Case Size.
Market Context
The Seiko 6349 Family Is Less Commonly Encountered Than Many 6309 And 7009 Seiko Automatics.
Collector Interest Is Influenced By Exact Reference, Dial Configuration, Originality, Cosmetic Condition,
Bracelet And Mechanical Operation.
This Example Combines The Identifiable 6349-503A Reference, July 1982 Serial, Unusual Gold-Tone
Diamond-Style Dial, 35Mm Tv-Style Case And A Running Automatic Movement.
