Minnie is printed on the dial and does not move; the hands turn over her, with the sub-seconds below.

It was under this name that Seiko produced its Disney-licensed watches for the Japanese market.

The sunburst finish is even right to the edge, the numerals and double line are crisp, the \u003cem\u003e© Disney\u003c\/em\u003e mention and the movement code appear at the bottom of the dial. The Minnie print is clear, with no losses.

The only routine action is a battery change, carried out by a watchmaker. The point to watch is not to leave a dead battery in the case: it will eventually leak and damage the movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a width of 27mm, 35mm Lug-to-lug and 5mm thickness, it suits wrists of about 14 to 17.5cm — a guide, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its slimness matters as much as its width: at 5mm, it disappears under a cuff. The 18mm Lug width is one of the most common, which leaves a full choice of replacement straps.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55039173624145,"sku":"690733 V707-5050","price":341.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_08247.jpg?v=1790082760","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-alba-minnie-v707-5050-watch-salmon-dial-2006","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
