Story
In February 1986, when this watch was manufactured, the world was embracing a new era of 'power dressing' where sleek, minimalist accessories were the ultimate status symbols.
Maker / Origin
Seiko, founded in 1881 by Kintarō Hattori, is the horological giant that changed history by introducing the world's first quartz watch in 1969.
Condition & Value
The case shows light surface wear and minor thinning of the gold plating on the sharp edges, consistent with careful use over 30+ years. Value for vintage Seiko quartz models is driven by the 'Tank' aesthetic which is currently very trendy.
