About the reference
Across documented examples, the 5606-7070 combines a stainless-steel case with a silver-toned dial, applied markers and Seiko’s caliber 5606. Some examples have a one-piece case opened from the dial side; case-construction details must be checked on the actual specimen.
Why it belongs in the archive
A lesson in careful identification: caliber, dial code, case code and individual service history must all agree before the record becomes authoritative.
For the next stage, an actual accession will need full dial photos, caseback inscription, caliber photograph and a dated research worksheet. We will not invent a movement serial, one-off restoration history, or an owner.
Identification notes
Details are based on observed third-party examples, not yet on a fully photographed Nurse Station specimen.
Proper identification compares the reference, movement stamp, dial code, caseback or case construction, observed hands and dial, and period catalogs. Replacement parts and past service can create contradictions without establishing fraud or a precise production date.
Sources & research quality
We distinguish direct manufacturer or museum evidence from collector observations, dealer descriptions and anecdotal reports. Claims not yet supported are left visibly open.
