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.
