Seiko Champion 850 – Ref. J15018 – Manual Wind – Silver Sunburst Dial (1960s)
A beautifully preserved 1960s Seiko Champion 850 with a clean silver sunburst dial and classic dauphine hands. The Champion line represents an important era in Seiko’s evolution — refined, minimal, and mechanically reliable. At 35mm, this one wears perfectly today: slim, elegant, and unmistakably mid-century.
 
The stainless-steel case retains its crisp lines, paired with a domed acrylic crystal and a new green leather strap that complements the understated dial. Powered by Seiko’s Cal. 850 manual-wind movement, freshly regulated and running well.
