Its \u003cstrong\u003erectangular chamfered case\u003c\/strong\u003e, with four bevelled corners, is \u003cstrong\u003etwo-tone\u003c\/strong\u003e: a polished steel case middle enhanced by a gold-plated surround, in an elegant and refined contrast. It measures 25mm wide (27mm with the crown) for a Lug-to-lug of 32.5mm and a thickness of just \u003cstrong\u003e4.5mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. A piece of extreme slimness, made to slip beneath a cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esilver dial\u003c\/strong\u003e with satin finish is framed by a double border with engraved line detailing that forms a cartouche with cut corners, in perfect harmony with the shape of the case. Free of numerals, it bears only a discreet golden baton marker at 12 o'clock, beneath the SEIKO QUARTZ and \u003cstrong\u003eDolce\u003c\/strong\u003e signatures, the latter in cursive script. Two fine golden sword hands mark the time with absolute minimalist elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside beats the \u003cstrong\u003eSeiko 7730 calibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, an ultra-thin dress quartz movement reserved for Dolce watches. It is this slim construction that allows the remarkably flat 4.5mm profile. In practice, maintenance 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 the \u003cstrong\u003ede ville jewel\u003c\/strong\u003e. The two-tone contrast of steel and gold and the silver dial create a dress watch of great sophistication, highlighted here by a black \u003cstrong\u003egenuine crocodile leather\u003c\/strong\u003e strap. This strap is not original; it is fitted to an original two-tone Buckle. 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 two-tone case, polished steel and gold-plated surround, with cut corners, is the piece's distinctive and elegant hallmark.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe satin silver dial, with double engraved border, has a discreet refinement that catches the light beautifully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt 4.5mm thick, it is an ultra-thin watch that slips under a shirt cuff without the slightest inconvenience.\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 Dolce, silver dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7730-5030 (no. 540903)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated year:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 1985 (dated by serial number and calibre)\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, Seiko 7730 calibre\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 Two-tone steel and gold-plated (steel caseback), rectangular shape with cut corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25mm (27mm with the crown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug to lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5mm\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, black cabochon, original\u003c\/li\u003e \n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin-brushed silvered, double engraved frame, golden baton hour marker at 12 o'clock, signed Seiko and Dolce, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden sword hands (hours, minutes), original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral (condition 9\/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 Two-tone, 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 Very well preserved condition.

It combines carefully crafted ultra-thin cases with quality quartz calibres, in a minimalist design intended for de ville wear. It is the Japanese definition of the dress watch, a step above standard collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a two-tone watch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA two-tone watch combines two metal tones, here the polished steel of the case middle and the gold plating of the frame. This combination, highly fashionable in the 1980s, brings richness and versatility to the watch, which pairs equally well with Jewelry in golden or silvered tones. It is one of the aesthetic appeals of this Dolce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this watch so thin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt only 4.5mm thick, this Dolce is one of the thinnest watches imaginable. This slimness comes from its ultra-thin two-hand quartz calibre and its shaped case. That is what allows it to slip under a shirt cuff without the slightest inconvenience, a quality sought after in a dress watch.\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 pressure of the caseback is no longer what it was on day one. Avoid the shower, the pool, and the sea. Simple contact with rainwater, however, does not pose any difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis watch is suitable for what wrist size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a case 25mm wide and a Lug-to-lug of 32.5mm, 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 personal taste and the desired look, 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":"Travel case","offer_id":54526132060497,"sku":"540903 7730-5030","price":1.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vintage Seiko case","offer_id":54526132093265,"sku":"540903 7730-5030 #2","price":1.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Travel case + Vintage Seiko case","offer_id":54526132126033,"sku":"540903 7730-5030 #3","price":1.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/seiko-dolce-7730-5030-bicolore-cadran-argente-1985-atelier-victor-1.jpg?v=1787406978","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/seiko-dolce-7730-5030-watch-two-tone-silvered-dial-1985","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
