Seiko gold-plated: the round dress watch with white Roman dial in the style of a pocket watch
This Seiko watch is a round dress watch, unisex, worn equally well by a man or a woman, with timeless classicism. Its round gold-plated case, with a thin bezel and tapered lugs, embodies the warm elegance of the dress watch. It measures 34mm (35.5mm with the crown) for a Lug-to-lug of 41mm and a thickness of only 5.5mm. An extra-thin and refined piece, made to slip under a cuff.
The white lacquered dial is a charming tribute to antique pocket watches. Fine black Roman numerals run around it, framed by an inner minute track that draws an hour circle in the style of a classical watchmaking dial. The SEIKO and QUARTZ signatures occupy the center. Two fine black baton hands are enough: no seconds hand, no date, only the essentials, in a design of great purity.
Inside beats the Seiko V700 calibre, an extra-thin two-hand dress quartz movement. Its slim construction allows the watch's 5.5mm 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.
On the wrist, the piece plays the card of timeless classicism. The warm gold-plating and the white Roman dial create a clean and luminous ensemble, highlighted here by an original black genuine crocodile leather strap. The Lug width of 18mm leaves the choice of replacement straps open.
Three points to note
- The white dial with Roman numerals and inner minute track charmingly evokes the dials of antique pocket watches.
- At 5.5mm thick, it is an extra-thin watch, slipping under a shirt cuff without the slightest inconvenience.
- The case is gold-plated, not solid; its plating shows signs of wear and fine pitting, and the Crystal has a few scratches, consistent with a vintage piece.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this dial evoke a pocket watch?
Through its design: the Roman numerals framed by an inner railroad minute track echo the layout of early 20th-century pocket watch dials. This classic, uncluttered aesthetic gives the watch retro elegance and excellent legibility, all the charm of this dressed Seiko.
Is the Seiko V700 calibre reliable?
Yes. The V700 is an extra-thin dress quartz movement, renowned for its reliability. Its maintenance is very simple: a battery change by any watchmaker is sufficient. The movement in this example has been checked by our watchmaker and is guaranteed for 1 year.
Is the case solid gold?
No: it is a gold-plated case with a steel back, a common construction on Seiko dress watches. The plating brings the warmth and shine of gold for a fraction of its price. This case shows signs of wear typical of a vintage piece.
Is this Seiko water-resistant?
No. 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. However, simple contact with rainwater does not pose any difficulty.
What wrist does this watch suit?
With a 34mm case and a 41mm Lug-to-lug, it is ideally a dress watch in a classic, versatile format, comfortable on most wrists. That said, a watch is also a matter of style: depending on taste and the look sought, it can be worn equally well by a man or a woman, on all kinds of wrists. The measurement is only a guide, never a rule.
