Vintage Seiko EL-3702 (1970 bracelet)

This is a collectors watch and shouldn't be mistaken for other, more run of the mill, EL-370s. Rare Vintage Seiko Electronic Battery Watch EL-370 3702-7000. 

Seiko EL-370s were only made from 1969 to 1972. This one is from 1970. They were the first electronic watches after the 31 series, before the Elnix, 3200s and 3300s. 

It is in good working condition (many that are sold aren’t working) with only light marks from general wear and the case has its original brushing. 

The story of Seiko began in 1881, when a 21 year old entrepreneur, Kintaro Hattori, opened a shop selling and repairing watches and clocks in central Tokyo. Just eleven years later, in 1892, he established the 'Seikosha' factory. 

In the 1960's, Seiko announced itself on the international sports timing stage with a whole new generation of high-precision equipment that was enthusiastically endorsed by many international sports federations and used to capture elapsed time at many of the world's leading sports events. Central to this success was a range of stopwatches that incorporated Seiko's innovative "heart-shaped cam" mechanism, a feature which delivered a level of precision once thought unachievable by manual sports timing devices. Then, in 1969, Seiko introduced the Seiko Speedtimer with the innovative Caliber 6139. It was the world's first automatic chronograph with a column wheel and vertical clutch, two devices that delivered real improvements in the measurement of elapsed time in a wristwatch and are still a prerequisite in high functionality chronographs.
