A rather rare find, this quartz 1984 Seiko 2C21 "contra" was just sold to a source deposit customer What to say about this amazingly unique and rare watch, the Seiko Field Master, aka “Seiko Contra?” The Field Master was allegedly worn by the anti-Communist Nicaraguan Contra’s during the 1980s conflict there (hence the nickname), but we have no evidence this is true Civil wars are almost always violent and messy, and facts are usually hard to come by – so judge for yourself. All we know is that it’s a fantastic military-esque tool watch, and Seiko has never made a watch like this before its launch in 1984 and has never made anything like it since The Field Master came in three variants, the one seen here; a rarer variant with the watch, compass, and map wheel modules, but with the addition of forth module, an LCD timer display; and the incredibly rare Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) version, which featured the watch plus three modules, but also an olive color to the base units and gold bezel inserts The Field Master case, or rather, cases, consists of 28mm x 28mm modules. While the watch module is permanently affixed, the other module allows the user to pull the pin crown out at the 4 o’clock position and pop the module out to replace it with a different one Seiko started its Field Master series using the already proven H558 movement (used in the famous watch featured in “The Predator” and other Arnold Schwarzenegger films of the 1980s) and redesigned the watch around it www.dcvintagewatches.com #seikocontra #contra #seiko2c21 #seikofieldmaster @dcvintagewatches #womw #watchesofinstagram #watchporn #watchfam #wristporn #wristgame #watchoftheday #DC #LA #SoCal #redbarcrew #wis #edc #instawatch #ReWatchTeam #wotd #klocksnack #GoAnalog #seiko #vintageseiko #Japan #seikoholic #seikoaddict #watchesforsale #forsale https://www.instagram.com/p/B6W8uZLnWdy/?igshid=1d7iu2zqnao9y

Just added to the shop for sale, a just full serviced 1984 Seiko 2C21 "Contra" Fieldmaster set, with watch, compass, and map meter modules What to say about this amazingly unique and rare watch, the Seiko Field Master, aka “Seiko Contra,” like this all original example here? The Field Master was allegedly worn by the anti-Communist Nicaraguan Contra’s during the 1980s conflict there (hence the nickname), but we have no evidence this is true Civil wars are almost always violent and messy, and facts usually hard to come by – so judge for yourself. All we know is that it’s a fantastic military-esque tool watch, and Seiko hadn't made a watch like this before its launch in the early 198o's and has never made anything like it since Full details and more pictures at www.dcvintagewatches.com #seikocontra #seiko2c21 @dcvintagewatches #womw #watchesofinstagram #watchporn #watchfam #wristporn #wristgame #watchoftheday #DC #LA #SoCal #redbarcrew #wis #edc #instawatch #ReWatchTeam #wotd #klocksnack #GoAnalog #seiko #vintageseiko #Japan #seikoholic #seikoaddict #watchesforsale #seiko2c210080 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9NonbmnT7M/?igshid=9lx5ltudw1a9

Seems appropriate to offer this on February 29th, given how legit rare these are - just added for sale in the shop, a 1984 Seiko 2C21 "Contra" Fieldmaster set, with watch, compass, and map meter modules What to say about this amazingly unique and rare watch, the Seiko Field Master, aka “Seiko Contra,” like this all original example here?

One of a couple quite unorthodox 1980s Seiko 2C21 Field Master "Contra" watches we have for sale now in the shop - this one from 1984 has its original strap, hang tag, and a few other goodies The Field Master was allegedly provided via outside actors to anti-Communist Nicaraguan Contra’s during the 1980s conflict there (hence the nickname), but we have no evidence this is true. Civil wars are almost always violent and messy, and facts are usually hard to come by – so judge for yourself. All we know is that it’s a fantastic military-esque tool watch, and Seiko hadn't made a watch like this before its launch in the early 1980's and has never made anything like it since. www.dcvintagewatches.com @dcvintagewatches #womw #watchesofinstagram #watchfam #wristgame #watchoftheday #DC #LA #SoCal #redbarcrew #DCVW #wis #edc #instawatch #fratellowatches #wornandwound #wotd #klocksnack #GoAnalog #seiko #vintageseiko #Japan #seikoholic #seiko2c21 #seikoaddict #forsale #seikocontra #watchesforsale #omega #heuer https://www.instagram.com/p/COoWEp4LAoB/?igshid=vzz5lb3a9ewm

Was it used by Contras? I've no idea. But it stands up to toddler abuse surprisingly well www.dcvintagewatches.com #seikocontra #contra #seiko2c21 @dcvintagewatches #womw #dcvw #klocksnack #watchesofinstagram #watchporn #watchfam #wristporn #vintagestyle #wristgame #vintagewatch #DC #LosAngeles #LA #redbarcrew #watchuseek #patina #wis #wus #edc #wrongwrist #watchlife #watchoftheday #oldfashioned #forsale #watchesforsale #vintage #seikolife #seiko #vintageseiko #Japan @seikowatchofficial #seikoholic
