Seiko RAF Quartz chronograph SPR047, Cal. 7A28

Seiko ref # SPR047.

Movement: 7A28

Why: The first RAF-issued Seiko chronograph ( Gen. 1 ) was procured from Seiko UK and issued primarily to Royal Air Force pilots and navigators from October 1984 until November 1990.

The Gen. 1 Seiko chronograph is one of the most sought after military watches. Because of its relative scarcity, its simple elegance, and its high quality movement, this watch often commands more than US$ 500 from collectors.
It's not unusual for a recently serviced example in excellent condition to sell in the US$ 700 range.
