Rare Seiko 5 Imperial Iran Army - Personal Gift from Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi

A Piece of Modern Persian History: This is not just a timepiece; it is a significant historical artifact. This vintage Seiko 5 7006-8030 features the prestigious Imperial Iranian Army (Artesh-e Shahanshahi-e Iran) logo, including the iconic Lion and Sun emblem and Persian calligraphy. Historical Provenance: This specific watch carries an extraordinary background. It was personally gifted by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, to a high-ranking official/significant figure of the era. Unlike standard military-issued pieces, the personal connection and story behind this gift make it potentially one-of-a-kind. Item Details: • Model: Seiko 5 Automatic (7006-8030) • Jewels: 17 Jewels • Dial: Original gold-tone dial featuring the Imperial Army Crest and "ارتش شاهنشاهی ایران" (Imperial Iranian Army) text. • Case: Stainless Steel. • Features: Day/Date window in Persian/English. • Condition: This watch is in original, unpolished vintage condition. It shows authentic wear (patina) on the bezel and crystal, consistent with its age and history. We have chosen to keep it in its original state to preserve its historical integrity for serious collectors. Investment Potential: Items related to the Pahlavi era, especially those with proven ties to the Imperial Court, have seen a massive increase in value globally. This is a rare opportunity for collectors of military history, Pahlavi memorabilia, or high-end vintage Seikos to own a piece that is virtually impossible to find elsewhere.
