Its \u003cstrong\u003eround steel case\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a thin bezel and short, tapered lugs, embodies a refined and timeless classicism. It measures 33mm (35mm with the crown) for a Lug-to-lug of 36mm and a thickness of only 7.2mm. A slim and discreet piece, made to slip under a cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esilver dial\u003c\/strong\u003e reveals a so-called \"linen\" texture, a cross-brushed finish that catches the light in a fine silky grid, highly sought-after on period dress dials. Faceted applied baton hour markers punctuate its perimeter, without a single numeral. The SEIKO signature occupies the top of the dial, the brand's small lightning logo the bottom. Two fine blackened baton hands are enough: no seconds hand, no date, only the essentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside beats a \u003cstrong\u003ehand-wound Seiko caliber\u003c\/strong\u003e. No battery here: the watch is wound by hand, every morning, with a gesture that has become rare. That is what sets this piece apart from the countless quartz watches of the same era and gives it its horological interest. The movement of this example has been serviced by our watchmaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wrist, the piece wears like a timeless \u003cstrong\u003ede ville watch\u003c\/strong\u003e. The polished steel and the silver linen dial create a highly restrained tone-on-tone ensemble, highlighted here by a \u003cstrong\u003egenuine crocodile leather\u003c\/strong\u003e strap in black. This strap is not original; it is fitted with a steel Buckle. The 18mm Lug width leaves the choice of replacement straps wide open.\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 mechanical and hand-wound: it must be wound daily to function.

Its calibre must be wound by hand, generally once a day, by turning the crown. There is neither a battery nor an automatic rotor. This mode of operation has become rare, and is one of the attractions of this piece for enthusiasts of traditional mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a “linen” dial?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA linen dial refers to a brushed finish with fine intersecting lines, evoking the weave of linen fabric. This texture catches the light in a silky, shifting grid, lending discreet depth to the dial. It is a highly prized refinement on dress watches from the 1960s and 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you wind a hand-wound watch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGently turn the crown clockwise about twenty turns, until you feel resistance. Never force it beyond that point. Daily winding, at the same time of day, is enough to keep the watch running and ensures the best regularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this Seiko water-resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Water resistance is never guaranteed on a vintage watch: the original gaskets have aged, and the caseback pressure is no longer what it was on the first day. Avoid the shower, pool, and sea. However, simple contact with rainwater is not a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wrist size does this watch suit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a 33mm diameter and a Lug-to-lug of 36mm, this is the classic dress watch format: ideally worn on a slim to متوسط wrist, where it appears perfectly proportioned, and remains discreet under a cuff thanks to its 7.2mm thickness. That said, a watch is also a matter of style: depending on taste and the look sought, this piece can be worn equally well by a man or a woman, on all kinds of wrists. The measurement is only a guideline, never a rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54501774131537,"sku":"740790 2220-0180","price":404.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/seiko-2220-0180-ronde-acier-cadran-lin-argente-manuel-1977-atelier-victor-1.jpg?v=1787406410","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/seiko-2220-0180-round-steel-silver-linen-dial-manual-1977","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
