Unisex, it can be worn equally well by a woman or a man with a slim wrist. Its \u003cstrong\u003erectangular gold-plated tank case\u003c\/strong\u003e, with brancards adorned with fine fluting, embodies dress elegance in the française style. It measures 21mm wide (21mm with the crown) for a Lug-to-lug of 28mm and a thickness of only 5.5mm. A slender, well-proportioned piece, halfway between a watch and a jewel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003egolden dial\u003c\/strong\u003e is the piece’s greatest refinement. Its surface is adorned with \u003cstrong\u003efine vertical ribbing\u003c\/strong\u003e, tuxedo-style, catching the light in a play of silky lines. Free of numerals, it bears only discreet \u003cstrong\u003egolden chevron hour markers\u003c\/strong\u003e at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, the house’s \u003cstrong\u003e“N” logo\u003c\/strong\u003e at 12 o’clock, and the NINA RICCI signature at its center. Two fine golden baton hands trace the time with absolute minimalist elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside beats a \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese quartz movement Seiko\u003c\/strong\u003e, calibre 2320, dressy and reliable. In practice, servicing is limited to battery replacement by any watchmaker. The movement of this example has been checked by our watchmaker and the battery replaced before shipping. It is the happy union of a French couturier’s design and proven Japanese mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wrist, the piece plays the card of the refined \u003cstrong\u003ede ville jewel\u003c\/strong\u003e. The warm gold-plating and the ribbed golden dial create a dress watch of great elegance, highlighted here by a black \u003cstrong\u003egenuine crocodile leather\u003c\/strong\u003e strap. This strap is not original; it is fitted with a gold-plated Buckle. The Lug width of 15mm guides the choice of replacement straps toward slim widths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree points to note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe watch is signed Nina Ricci, a Parisian fashion house, while being powered by a reliable and easy-to-maintain Japanese quartz movement Seiko.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe golden dial with fine vertical ribbing, tuxedo-style, is the true refinement of the piece: a play of lines that changes with the light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe case is gold-plated, not solid gold; the dial shows a few fine signs of wear, disclosed in full transparency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e→ \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/montres-vintage-femme\"\u003eExplore our women’s vintage watches\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e→ \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/montres-vintage-moins-500\"\u003eSee our vintage watches under €500\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nina Ricci (Seiko movement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tank, ribbed golden dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2320-6240 (no. 1N1892)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated year:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 1991 (dated by serial number and calibre)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France (Japanese movement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Women’s watch, or men’s for a small wrist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese quartz, calibre Seiko 2320\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hours, minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-plated (gold back), rectangular tank shape, fluted brancards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21mm (21mm with the crown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug to lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug width :\u003c\/strong\u003e 15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown :\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-plated, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial :\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden with vertical striations, golden chevron hour markers, N logo and Nina Ricci signature, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands :\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden baton hands (hours, minutes), original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal :\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral (condition 8\/10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap :\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine black crocodile leather, not original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuckle :\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-plated, not original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition and warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral condition :\u003c\/strong\u003e Well preserved condition.

Like many fashion houses, it offered licensed watches, whose dials bear its signature and its “N” logo. These pieces combine a couturier’s design with a proven watch movement, here a Japanese quartz Seiko.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this watch a Seiko or a Nina Ricci?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a sense, both: the watch is signed Nina Ricci on the dial, that is its brand, but it is powered by a quartz movement made by Seiko. This is common practice and a mark of reliability: the style and identity are those of the house of française, the mechanics those of a major Japanese watchmaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the case solid gold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo: it is a gold-plated case. The plating brings the warmth and brilliance of gold for a fraction of its price. It is a typical construction for dress watches from fashion houses. This case shows fine signs of wear, noted in full transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this watch water-resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Water resistance is never guaranteed on a vintage watch: the original gaskets have aged and the pressure of the caseback is no longer what it was on the first day. Avoid the shower, pool, and sea. Simple contact with rainwater, however, does not pose any difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wrist does this watch suit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a tank case 20.9mm wide and a Lug-to-lug of 27.9mm, it is above all a women’s watch, or a men’s watch for a slim wrist. That said, a watch is also a matter of style: depending on one’s tastes and the desired look, it can be worn beyond these guidelines by anyone who appreciates its refined dressy character. Size is only a guide, never a rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Travel case","offer_id":54525782393169,"sku":"1N1892 2320-6240","price":336.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vintage Seiko case","offer_id":54525782425937,"sku":"1N1892 2320-6240 #2","price":367.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Travel case + Vintage Seiko case","offer_id":54525782458705,"sku":"1N1892 2320-6240 #3","price":378.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/2VD00346-2.jpg?v=1786289198","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/nina-ricci-tank-2320-6240-gold-plated-striated-golden-dial-1991","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
