But when these courses were handed back to Japan in the 1950s, there was a significant increase in enthusiasm for the sport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the popularity of Golf spiked, Seiko made special Golf watches under its Cronos hand-wind in limited numbers as a celebration: Belt buckles for golfers with a flip-down buckle revealing a hidden watch, golf-themed pocket watches and this Cronos cased in a 13074.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 13074 is interesting in that it features a golf ball face on both dials and on the case back. The dial comes in cream patterned with white dots to represent the golf ball surrounded by a beautiful silver bezel with black minutes trims, which in turn is perfectly complemented by the iconic mountain hands. A gorgeous watch indeed, the lugs and resulting overall shape of the watch present as the most prominent features of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Cronos Golf is powered by the Manual winding 21J Diashock movement and comes in a complete set that you probably see once in a lifetime: Coming with its original and extremely rare metal box, original signed Seiko straps, the iconic S buckle, and the Cronos tag, this example is in very good condition with remnants on the blue protective sticker on the case-back and the dial is immaculate which is a true joy to see up close since most of these model tend to deteriorate. Originally belonging to a private collection, we believe this is how the particular model came for sale during that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA truly collectible piece, and one that we won't likely have the opportunity to offer again soon, especially in such a pristine set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShips from Tokyo, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition report\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, this Cronos Golf set is in excellent condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case is in very good condition with light scratches but no bumps are observed.
