For a long time, the company operated two sites in internal competition, each developing its own calibres: Daini signed its dials with a lightning bolt, Suwa with a whirlwind. The symbol therefore indicates which factory produced the watch on your wrist — a detail collectors look at first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \"linen\" dial?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA brushed finish in fine intersecting lines, reproducing in metal the weave of linen fabric. The two brushing directions do not catch the light in the same way: the dial shifts from grey to white depending on the angle of the wrist, and the pattern reveals itself up close. It is a surface treatment widely used on Japanese and Swiss dress watches in the 1960s and 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the dial original?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The linen texture is even right to the edge, the applied hour markers are each made from a single piece with their facets intact, and the signature as well as the Daini lightning bolt are printed sharply — three points that a redial rarely gets right all at once. This dial has not been retouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow can you tell it is running without a seconds hand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece displays only the hours and minutes: there is no seconds hand to confirm operation at a glance. Hold the watch to your ear, and the beat of the balance can be heard; or compare the position of the minute hand a few minutes apart. It is wound by hand, about twenty turns of the crown clockwise, never forcing beyond the point of resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suited to a slim or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a 33mm diameter, 36mm Lug-to-lug, and 7.2mm thickness, it suits wrists of approximately 14.5 to 18cm — a guideline, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its short lugs limit the span of the case, and its slimness lets it slip under a cuff without catching. The 18mm Lug width is one of the most common, which leaves a full choice of replacement straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54818778218833,"sku":"300124 2220-0180","price":362.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/montre-seiko-2220-0180-acier-cadran-lin-argente-1973-atelier-victor-1.jpg?v=1789504960","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/seiko-watch-2220-0180-steel-silver-linen-dial-1973","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
