Seiko A239-500AT World Time Vintage JDM Digital LCD Watch, Stainless Steel, 34mm, Alarm, World City Display This is a genuinely exciting piece of vintage Seiko digital history — the A239-500AT "World Time," a Japan Domestic Market LCD watch from the late 1970s/early 1980s that was ahead of its time in every sense. The standout feature is its stunning graphical world map display mode, which renders an LCD globe with continent outlines and city zone markers — a miniaturized technological marvel that still impresses collectors today. The watch references case reference A239-502A on the caseback and movement code A239-500AT on the dial face, making it easy to verify authenticity. The dial is a rich deep blue-black panel densely packed with world city designations arranged around the central LCD window: HNL, LAX, DEN, CHI, and NYC on the left; SYD, TYO, HKG, and BKK on the right; and a full bottom row running CCS, RIO, LON/GMT, PAR/ROM, CAI, MOW, DXB, KHI, and DEL. The watch supports Home Time Alarm, World Time Alarm, DST adjustment, and Date Select functions, all accessible via the side push-buttons and the Mode selector. The iconic vented top bezel — a hallmark of this era of Seiko digital design — frames the watch with unmistakable retro-futurist character. The case measures 34.1mm wide and 9.8mm thick, as confirmed by the caliper photos. It wears comfortably on a medium wrist, and the EZ Bracelet Sizer confirms the current configuration fits approximately a 6.75-inch wrist. The original stainless steel integrated brick-link bracelet is present and complete, with a fold-over deployant clasp stamped NA24A. The caseback is engraved with serial number 9D3254 and reads WATER RESIST STAINLESS STEEL JAPAN-A A239-502A [A2]. Condition: The watch is in honest vintage used condition consistent with its age. The LCD display is fully functional and responsive, as confirmed across multiple photos showing different modes — standard time, day/date, and world map view. The lens/display panel shows light surface scratches and some minor haziness visible under direct light, which is typical for unworn-for-decades Japanese digital pieces. The case shows scattered micro-scratches and light patina on the edges and caseback — again, expected and acceptable for a vintage piece of this age. The bracelet shows light surface wear on the outer links but remains tight, complete, and free of stretched or damaged links. No crown or button issues observed. Overall, this is a genuinely wearable and fully operational vintage Seiko digital with character. Shipping is same day or next business day, carefully packaged for safe transit. Special Note: Every watch I list on eBay has been photographed extensively and videoed. This means that once the watch leaves my warehouse, it is in the same identical shape as described in the listing. All listings are AS-IS. I will not take back a watch and return especially one that has been tampered with previously. If you choose to go this route, you will face overwhelming proof on my side that the watch was in the shape as described in the description and eBay will be notified promptly to help resolve the issue. #Seiko, #A239-500AT, #A239-502A, #WorldTime, #VintageSeiko, #SeikоDigital, #LCD, #JDM, #JapanDomesticMarket, #DigitalWatch, #RetroWatch, #VintageWatch, #WorldTimeAlarm, #StainlessSteel, #34mm, #VintageJapanese, #CollectorsWatch, #SeikоCollector, #MenswatchVintage, #WorldMap
