Overview

A classic gold-tone stainless steel wristwatch featuring a fluted bezel and a day-date complication at the 3 o'clock position.

Story

By the mid-1980s, the 'Quartz Revolution' led by Seiko had fundamentally shifted the world's perception of timekeeping from a luxury mechanical craft to a high-tech precision science.

Maker / Origin

Founded in 1881 by Kintarō Hattori in Tokyo, Seiko—a name meaning 'exquisite' or 'success'—is the company that nearly dismantled the Swiss watch industry.

Condition & Value

The photos show visible wear to the gold plating, particularly on the high-contact areas of the bracelet and the lugs. Value for vintage Seiko quartz models is driven by the condition of the gold plating and the functionality of the movement.
