Description
A bold expression of early 1970s Japanese watch design, this vintage Seiko Advan combines striking colour, angular case architecture and dependable mechanical engineering in a timepiece that stands apart from more conventional vintage watches.
Produced in 1972, this reference 7019-7220 features one of the Advan collection's most distinctive dial designs, with a deep green sunburst centre flowing into a contrasting blue outer chapter ring. The applied faceted baton hour markers, polished dauphine hands and signature Advan sun emblem create a layered appearance that shifts dramatically as it catches the light.
The stainless-steel case showcases the sharp geometric styling that defined Seiko's experimental design era, while the faceted crystal enhances the dial's depth and retro-futuristic character.
Inside is the Seiko calibre 7019A automatic movement, a robust 21-jewel mechanical calibre renowned for its reliability and everyday practicality. The movement has been serviced, including disassembly, cleaning, lubrication and regulation, and is keeping time well.
The watch is fitted with its original signed stainless-steel bracelet and folding clasp, completing the authentic design that made the Advan one of Seiko's most distinctive Japanese Domestic Market collections.

Condition
This Seiko Advan retains the bold colours and unmistakable character that make vintage Japanese watches from the early 1970s so desirable.
The stainless-steel case displays light signs of age and previous wear, including light surface scratches throughout. The original case lines remain well-defined, preserving the distinctive geometric styling that makes the Advan collection so recognisable.
The original green sunburst dial, contrasted by its blue outer chapter ring, remains vibrant and well-preserved. The applied hour markers, polished hands and signature Advan sun emblem retain their strong visual presence, while the original luminous material has developed an age-appropriate patina.
As with any vintage watch, there are signs of age and use. Please refer to the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
Vintage mechanical watches require delicate care and handling when winding the movement, setting the time and operating the crown. The crown and stem can be particularly delicate and should never be forced.
The movement has been serviced, and the original signed bracelet and clasp complete the watch's authentic vintage appearance.
About
Founded in Tokyo in 1881, Seiko has become one of the world's most influential watchmakers, renowned for its technical innovation, in-house manufacturing and distinctive approach to design. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Seiko embraced a more experimental direction, creating watches that reflected changing tastes through bold colours, unconventional case shapes and futuristic styling. The Advan collection became one of the brand's most distinctive expressions of this creative period. Designed primarily for the Japanese Domestic Market, Advan models became known for their dramatic two-tone dials, faceted crystals and angular cases that captured the optimism and design freedom of the era. Rather than following traditional dress-watch conventions, the collection celebrated colour, geometry and movement in a way few watches of the time dared to. This 1972 reference 7019-7220 perfectly captures that philosophy. Its vibrant green and blue dial, sharp stainless-steel case and reliable automatic movement make it an increasingly sought-after piece among collectors looking for a more distinctive chapter of Seiko's vintage heritage.
What's Included
Original box and papers are NOT included. As with many vintage timepieces, these original accessories have often been lost over the decades. If a watch is supplied with its original box, papers, or additional accessories, this will be clearly stated in the listing.
Care
As a vintage mechanical timepiece, this watch should be handled with care and kept away from water, steam and moisture. Avoid exposure to shocks, strong magnetic fields and extreme temperatures, and never force the crown or controls. When not being worn, store it in a clean, dry environment. Due to the age and delicate nature of vintage mechanical movements, regular professional servicing is recommended to maintain reliable performance and longevity. This timepiece has been carefully preserved for over 5 decades. Vintage mechanical watches require delicate care and handling when winding the movement, setting the time and operating the crown. The crown and stem can be particularly delicate and should never be forced. Although some vintage models were originally rated for water resistance, no vintage watch sold by The Vault & Time Collective should be considered water resistant. We recommend treating all vintage timepieces as non-water-resistant unless otherwise explicitly stated.
