I hope to make the case that there are vintage quartz watches that are worth collecting, even if they aren’t quite as rare. And to kick things off, I will start with perhaps a particularly eye-catching model: the Seiko 7A28-7010.
Before I tell you about cursing out an old Russian man and knocking the pens off of his desk, I have to tell you about The Watch.
A comprehensive history of the history of the Chistopol Watch Factory – aka Vostok.
If you were to take a look into my watch box, you would see a wide array of large, sporty, modern watches. To be expected of a 19 year old collector, I suppose. But out of the corner of your eye you will see this beautiful vintage piece coming in at 36mm. It’s the Citizen Eagle 7 dating back to 1974. I want to share the story of this watch; from when I first purchased it for £13/$17 over a year ago, to owning over 4 variations of the Eagle 7 during this year and why.
