A Seiko Noie oval gold-plated watch, white dial with Breguet numerals
The 21 mm wide oval case measures 6.5 mm thick. Its polished, domed bezel frames the Crystal with a continuous ring; four short, faceted lugs hold the strap. The gold plating, patinated by time on the edges, retains its shine on the polished surfaces. The steel caseback bears the piece reference.
The white dial has twelve black Breguet-style Arabic numerals, with flowing curves, following the oval shape of the dial. Two blued leaf hands provide the reading. The Seiko signature is printed below 12 o'clock, the Noie line monogram above 6 o'clock; no aperture.
The calibre 1F21 is a two-jewel, two-hand Japanese quartz movement. The serial number dates production to October 1997.
The original crown is set into the caseband at 3 o'clock. The watch is fitted with a handmade brown crocodile-embossed leather strap, not original, fastened by an original steel Buckle. With a 33.5 mm Lug-to-lug, it wears on a feminine wrist.
