The name appears on the dial. It is a line that was not widely distributed outside Japan, which explains why it is rarely seen in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Seiko 5E21 calibre?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn analogue quartz three-hander, without date, with a 32,768 Hz oscillator and stated accuracy of around fifteen seconds per month. It has the hacking seconds function: when the crown is pulled out, the seconds hand stops, allowing the watch to be set to the exact second. Seiko fitted it to its Lucent and Spirit lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the dial original?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYes. The lacquer is even right to the edge, the markers are applied rather than printed, and the movement code appears at 6 o’clock on the dial as on every Seiko piece from this period. This dial has not been retouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a quartz watch require maintenance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLess than a mechanical one: no winding, no periodic maintenance, accuracy within a few seconds per month. The only thing needed is a battery change, 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 24mm, 33mm Lug-to-lug, and 7mm thickness, it suits wrists of around 13.5 to 17cm — a guideline, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its elongated shape makes it appear more present than a round watch of the same width. The 17mm Lug width can be found without difficulty in replacement straps.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55038516691281,"sku":"5D0190 5E21-5C10","price":341.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_08308-2.jpg?v=1790085905","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-lucent-5e21-5c10-watch-seiko-two-tone-rectangular-2005","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
