Another humble watch that has an impressive pedigree, they were actually ISSUED and USED by the US NAVY SEALs ...
SEIKO CALIBER 7002A IS AN AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT WITH 17 JEWELS FOUND IN MANY PRE-SKX SEIKO DIVERS. THIS CALIBER WAS INTRODUCED IN THE LATE 1980S AFTER SEIKO STARTED TO PHASE OUT THE PRODUCTION OF THE CALIBER 6309 AROUND 1988. SEIKO PRODUCED THE 7002 UNTIL CIRCA 1996 – WHICH IS WHEN THE CALIBER 7S26 WAS INTRODUCED.
Thanks for sharing I did not know the whole history. I own a 1st Gen Black Monster, and it is the watch I wear without thinking about it, no risk. The 7S26 is too cheap to service properly, but I still love it !
