1995 Seiko 7002-7039 Automatic 200m Pro Diver (Transitional/Pepsi)

$0.00

As production of the 6309 ended in 1988, Seiko introduced it’s next generation of 150m Sport Divers by way of the 7002. Production of this model ran from 1988, all the way through 1995. In the latter half of ‘94, the evolution from 7002 to SKX became a bit clearer as a gain of 50m brought the depth rating to 200, and the bezel, now a uni-directional style, employed a silky smooth spring mechanism in place of the previous “ball bearing” style. It is the direct predecessor to the recently discontinued SKX line, and is most commonly referred to as the “transitional” 7002. Owning one can feel like the perfect blend of old and new. This example from May of ‘95 is an absolute stunner. The case is unpolished, and shows minimal wear. It’s original finishes and bevels are still sharp, and the “Pepsi” bezel insert has only a few light wear marks, and just the right amount of color fade . The dial is a textured matte black with rectangular markers at every hour except the 12, where two opposing triangles meet at a point just above the silver SEIKO logo. The luminous material, in this case promethium, has developed a silvery green patina that is distinct to these models. The hands are recognizable in design, and characteristic of previous models. A large screw down crown sits at the 4 o’clock position between two protruding crown guards. The case back bears the signature “Tsunami” logo at center, and along with the crown, screws down tightly with ample threading. It’s completely original aside from a replacement mineral crystal, and a stunning example of the last of Seiko’s fourth generation divers. The 7002 is a date only calibre, and post service, this one is keeping near perfect time. It comes attached to the original Seiko three link bracelet in stainless steel for a seamless and comfortable fit and finish. With so many examples fitted with modified and aftermarket parts, opportunities to own an untouched example in this condition are becoming increasingly rare. Don’t wait on this one.
