Its \u003cstrong\u003egold-plated\u003c\/strong\u003e case, with its vertical silhouette and delicately curved sides, embodies the elegance of the shaped watch. It measures 27mm wide (29mm with the crown) with a Lug-to-lug of 35mm and a thickness of only 5.7mm. An extra-flat and refined piece, made to slip under a cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ewhite lacquered dial\u003c\/strong\u003e is of understated classicism.

The SEIKO signature sits at the top of the dial. Two fine blackened baton hands and a discreet golden seconds hand sweep across the whole, with perfect restraint and legibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside beats the \u003cstrong\u003eSeiko 5P31 calibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, an extra-flat three-hand dress quartz movement. Its slim construction allows the watch's 5.7mm profile. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wrist, the piece plays the card of \u003cstrong\u003etimeless classicism\u003c\/strong\u003e. The warm gold-plating, the white Roman dial and the \u003cstrong\u003eblack cabochon crown\u003c\/strong\u003e create a dress watch of great elegance, highlighted here by a black \u003cstrong\u003egenuine crocodile leather\u003c\/strong\u003e strap.

It is a classic and elegant shape in dress watchmaking, which sits beautifully on the wrist and gives this Seiko its timeless character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Seiko 5P31 caliber reliable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The 5P31 is an ultra-thin three-hand dress quartz movement, renowned for its reliability. Its maintenance is extremely simple: a battery change by any watchmaker is sufficient. The movement of this example has been checked by our watchmaker and is guaranteed for 1 year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the case 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 brings 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\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 back pressure is no longer what it was on day one. Avoid the shower, pool, and sea. Simple contact with rainwater, however, does not present any difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor what wrist does this watch suit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a tonneau case 27mm wide and a Lug-to-lug of 35mm, it is ideally a shaped watch in a measured 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. Size is only a guide, never a rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54521471828305,"sku":"031105 5P31-5E10","price":357.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/2VD00076.jpg?v=1786203871","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/seiko-5p31-5e10-tonneau-gold-plated-white-roman-dial-1990","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
