But before that historic release, Seiko had already dipped its toes into the world of dive watches with the remarkable \"Silver Wave\" series, a collection that laid the foundation for Seiko's enduring legacy in the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis particular example is the Ref.69799, dating back to October 1964, which represents the second generation of the Silver Wave line, and finding one in this condition is almost beyond belief. Unworn and impeccably preserved with its original bracelet and tag, the case is a masterclass in mid-century design, with elegant tapered lugs, a refined round profile, and a slimmer stance on the wrist. The knurled crown at four o'clock isn't just for setting the time, it also operates the inner countdown-style bezel, reinforcing the watch's utilitarian charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dial is a spectacle in itself: A charcoal sunburst finish, accented by polished applied markers, all framed by a crisp black-and-white internal bezel. The \"AD\" logo at six o'clock signals that the indexes are rhodium-plated, adding to the watch's subtle yet undeniable luxury. Every inch of luminous material remains vibrant, still glowing in that signature Seiko green. And on the case back, the beautifully etched tsunami emblem is not only pristine, it even retains remnants of its original protective blue film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs time passes, early Silver Wave models become ever scarcer, making this example an extraordinary find. A true piece of Seiko history, ready for its next chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition report\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, this Silverwave is in immaculate unused condition. The case is sharp with no signs of use, except light scratches and dirt due to long-term storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dial is the main attraction as it is beautiful.
