For parts-and-repair enthusiasts and Seiko collectors, this Seiko men’s wristwatch offers a unique salvage opportunity. With a 35mm gold-tone case and champagne dial, it presents classic styling that can be repurposed into a donor piece for restoration projects or used to harvest specific components for other Seiko builds.

Key Details

• Brand: Seiko
• Model/Movement: Quartz, 5Y22-8020 designation
• Case diameter: 35 mm
• Case material: Stainless steel with gold-tone plating
• Dial: Champagne, non-numeric hour marks
• Date function: Yes
• Crystal: Scratched
• Condition: Used; scratches on case and crystal. The watch does not work and will require repair. A new battery will not fix it.

Ideal For

• Watchmakers and repair hobbyists seeking a donor for a Seiko 5Y22-8020 quartz movement or case parts
• Collectors who want a bronze-gold aesthetic seed piece for custom builds
• Spare-parts enthusiasts looking to salvage a champagne-dial, date-equipped Seiko for future projects

What Sets It Apart

Unlike fully functional contemporary models, this piece is valued for its potential as a reliable parts source and restoration donor. The combination of a 35mm gold-tone case and champagne dial provides a classic look that remains desirable for retro Seiko restorations. With the movement not currently functioning and a scratched crystal, the real value lies in salvaging precise components without paying for a brand-new mechanism.

Salvage and Restoration Potential

• Harvest the case, crown, bezel, and bracelet components for other Seiko builds needing a warm gold-tone finish
• Use the dial and date wheel as a reference or to replace damaged elements in compatible Seiko models
• Replace the non-functioning movement with a compatible quartz module to revive a donor case

Practical Considerations

This item is sold as-is for parts or repair. The battery will not restore operation, and the existing wear (scratches on the case and crystal) is consistent with prior use. It’s an affordable option for those who want to minimize restoration costs while still gaining access to authentic Seiko parts.

What You Can Expect in Your Purchase

• Clear, practical value for educators, hobbyists, and professional repairers working with Seiko’s 5Y22-8020 family
• Simple, straightforward shipping and handling through a shop that supports combined shipping
