misc: unique seiko automatic chronograph with cal. 7016a movement and type 5011 casing. This movement was produced between 1972 and 1977 only and was the world's thinnest automatic movement (6.4mm) till 1987. As a technically very advanced as well, this movement feaures both chronograph registers in same subdial. This model range set a true milestone to Seiko's history of automatic chronographs and they have become very scarce and highly collectable watches nowadays.
condition: excellent
