Seiko Seikomatic-R 8305-8050 Fluted Bezel White Linen Crosshair Dial

Seikomatic was introduced in the 1960s as part of Seiko's effort to expand its offerings in the business market with a focus on precision and functionality. The Seikomatic line, including the R series, was positioned as a top-tier offering within Seiko's lineup during that era. 

This 1967 Seikomatic-R 8305-8050 exemplifies that premium spirit. It features a bold cushion-shaped case paired with a refined fluted bezel, giving it a distinguished presence. The silver linen dial is adorned with a crosshair pattern, raised baton indices, and dauphine hands, while the date-only window ensures a clean, balanced aesthetic that exudes timeless charm.

Powering the watch is the 8305 automatic movement, boasting 30 jewels and operating at 18,000 bph. The movement is known for its reliability and features a bidirectional quickset date function, a notable convenience for its time.

This example is in good working condition, with a serviced movement running smoothly. The dial and crystal are clean, the polished case retains its brushed front finish, and the fluted bezel remains crisp and well-defined. The case back markings are still clearly visible.

A refined example from Seiko’s golden era of watchmaking, the Seikomatic-R 8305-8050 blends mechanical sophistication with enduring elegance, making it a fine addition to any vintage collection.
