Model: Seiko 6347-5000 / Automatic Moonphase

Year: October 1986

Features:

The Complication. Strangely, this is the only automatic Moonphase Seiko has ever produced. It was released in 1986 and quickly disappeared from Seiko’s line-up, making this a difficult watch to track down. I know it seems like an absolute impossibility for Seiko not to have produced another automatic Moonphase in 38 years… but they haven’t. They’ve made lots of Quartz Moonphases and Kinetic Moonphases, but this unique specimen stands alone as the sole Automatic. It bears that cross well though, with a Genta-inspired case and a layered dial setup. 

The Design. The starry edge sits several millimetres above the sunken dial, which is surrounded by a beautifully fluted chapter ring. The dauphine hands and fluted chapter ring are both great at twinkling in the light. 

The Bracelet. The bracelet is not original to the watch, although it a vintage Seiko bracelet the same 1980s era. It's an original Seiko 7C17-8000 bracelet, and is almost exactly the same shape and style. Will fit a 18.5cm or 7.2 inch wrist.

Condition: In very good condition. The case and caseback are show cosmetic marks, but the crystal is immaculate. (Please note, the video shows a previously sold 6347-5000. The photos show the watch that's being sold)

FAQs

Are your watches authentic?

Everything we sell is 100% authentic.

All of our watches are inspected and verified for authenticity - both inside and out. We have over 15 years of sourcing and collecting rare watches in Japan, which is often considered to be one of the best markets for authentic and fully original vintage watches.

Do you ship globally?

We are based in Japan and regularly ship all over the world. We typically use FedEx and it takes:

  • 3-7 business days to reach North America
  • 3-7 business days to reach Europe
  • 3-7 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.

What condition are your watches?

Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of the watches we typically sell, the condition varies from watch to watch. However, our photos are high resolution and our descriptions are accurate. You can buy with confidence knowing there won't be any nasty surprises.

If the condition of a watch is ever misrepresented, we would offer a full refund.

Are all of your watches serviced?

Most but not all of our watches are serviced. The "Condition" section of each watch will confirm if the watch has been serviced.

All of our watches are tested by an independent watchmaker - if a service is needed, the watch will be serviced. If a service hasn't been conducted, it's because the watch itself is too new to need a service, or there is evidence of a recent service.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept payment by all major Credit Cards and Wise.com

Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage or new), and the import laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

Are your watches water resistant?

Our serviced watches are typically tested to their original water resistant specifications, but we would never recommend pushing vintage or neo-vintage watches to their depth limits.

What is your returns policy?

Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of most of our watches, we do not offer returns under normal circumstances. All sales should be considered final.
