Seiko Ruse Tank TV 1N01-0FF0 (1994)
This watch, produced in 1994, bears the reference 1N01-0FF0. It is a pre-owned Seiko watch from the Ruse line, featuring a gold-plated case whose shape evokes old television screens ("TV dial" format). Its grey dial displays a guilloché, textured finish enhanced by large stylised gilt Arabic numerals, as well as three central hands. Powered by a quartz movement, this vintage Japanese watch measures 30.5mm wide (33mm with crown). Its format places it in the category of the vintage TV-shaped watch, suitable for both men's and women's wrists. It is intended for collectors seeking a vintage Seiko quartz watch with an atypical style to complete their selection of vintage Seiko models.
Why buy this piece now?
- The dial design: The contrast between the finely guilloché grey background and the oversized typography of the gilt Arabic numerals creates a singular and asymmetrical aesthetic.
- The "TV" format: The case shape, a hybrid between round and cushion, recalls the characteristic watch design of the 1970s while offering a strong visual presence.
- The Ruse line: This specific line from Seiko focused on original, dressy designs that departed from the manufacture's usual classic standards.
