Its \u003cstrong\u003estepped gold-plated case\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose middle case rises in successive tiers toward the Crystal, evokes the graphic elegance of the 1930s. It measures 24.5mm wide (26mm with the crown) with a Lug-to-lug of 35mm and a thickness of 7.1mm. An elegant and refined piece, made to slip under a cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eblack lacquered dial\u003c\/strong\u003e is a small masterpiece of style. Generous \u003cstrong\u003egolden Roman numerals\u003c\/strong\u003e circle it, framed by a \u003cstrong\u003edouble gold-line border\u003c\/strong\u003e that forms a central cartouche, in the purest Art Deco spirit. A \u003cstrong\u003egolden small seconds\u003c\/strong\u003e, at 6 o'clock, turns within a guilloché subdial and marks the refinement of the piece. The SEIKO and QUARTZ signatures, also in gold, stand out elegantly against the deep black. The golden sword hands complete this highly sophisticated ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside beats the \u003cstrong\u003eSeiko 2628 calibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, a dress quartz movement with small seconds. 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 choice of precision and simplicity, serving a dial of great elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wrist, the piece plays the card of the retro \u003cstrong\u003ede ville jewel\u003c\/strong\u003e. The warm gold-plating, the black and gold dial, and the stepped shape create a dress watch with strong character, in the spirit of the great classic shaped watches. It is fitted with a black \u003cstrong\u003ecrocodile-style leather\u003c\/strong\u003e strap, with a Buckle buckle. This strap is not original. The 19mm Lug width leaves the choice of replacement straps open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree points to note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe black dial with golden Roman numerals and small seconds, framed by a double line, is a superb tribute to the Art Deco style of the 1930s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe stepped gold-plated case (stepped case) is a sought-after graphic design, with its middle case rising toward the Crystal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe case is gold-plated, not solid: it shows light signs of wear, disclosed with complete transparency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e→ \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/montres-seiko-vintage\"\u003eDiscover our vintage Seiko 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 Seiko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stepped rectangular-shaped watch, black dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2628-5010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Men's and women's watch (Unisex)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese quartz, calibre Seiko 2628\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hours, minutes, small seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-plated (steel caseback), stepped rectangular shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.5mm (26mm with the crown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug to lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Gold-plated, fluted, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black lacquered, golden Roman numerals, double filet framing, small seconds at 6 o'clock, signed Seiko and Quartz, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden sword hands, golden small seconds hand, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral, very good condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black crocodile-style leather, non-original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuckle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pin buckle, non-original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition and warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent state of preservation.

Rectangular-shaped watches belong to the common vocabulary of dress watchmaking, adopted by many houses throughout the 20th century, particularly during the Art Deco period. This piece claims to be nothing other than what it is: an elegant and refined shaped watch, at a price incomparable to that of a luxury piece, and its brand authenticity is guaranteed for life by Atelier Victor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \"stepped\" case or stepped case?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a case whose middle case rises in several successive levels, or steps, as it moves up toward the Crystal. This design, emblematic of 1930s Art Deco style, gives the watch graphic depth and architectural elegance. It is particularly sought-after on shaped watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a small seconds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe small seconds is a seconds display housed in a distinct subdial, here at 6 o'clock, rather than in the center of the dial. It is a traditional and elegant layout, inherited from antique watches, which brings a touch of classic refinement. On this Seiko, it is perfectly functional and fully contributes to the Art Deco charm of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the case made of solid gold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo: it is a gold-plated case with a steel back, a technique commonly used on Seiko dress watches. The plating provides the warmth and brilliance of gold for a fraction of its price. This piece shows light signs of wear on its plating, disclosed with complete transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wrist does this watch suit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a case 24.5mm wide and a Lug-to-lug of 35mm, this is ideally a shaped watch in a restrained format, comfortable on a slim to medium wrist and easy to slip under a cuff. 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. Estimated size is only a guide, never a rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Travel case","offer_id":54512897163601,"sku":"002087 2628-5010","price":1.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vintage case Seiko","offer_id":54512897196369,"sku":"002087 2628-5010 box","price":1.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_05370.jpg?v=1786090691","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/seiko-2628-5010-watch-gold-plated-tank-black-deco-1980","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
