A Seiko from 1995, gold-plated oval case on brown crocodile leather
The gold-plated case forms an elongated oval 21mm wide, 33.5mm Lug-to-lug and 7mm thick. Its sides curve smoothly into the lugs, which hold the strap on a 12mm Lug width. The gold-tone fluted crown is positioned at 3 o'clock; the caseback is steel.
On the white dial, twelve black Arabic numerals with a cursive design follow the oval shape of the case. The Seiko signature occupies the top of the dial, a gold-tone emblem the bottom. The blue baton-shaped hands and centre seconds stand out clearly against this light background. Dial and hands are original.
Inside beats the Seiko 1F21 calibre, a 2-jewel quartz movement intended for the brand's ladies' watches. The serial number engraved on the caseback dates its manufacture to September 1995.
The dark brown crocodile leather strap, with pronounced grain, fastens with a gold-tone Buckle pin buckle matching the case. On the wrist, its 21mm width suits a slim wrist, as an everyday watch as well as a dress watch.

Frequently asked questions
What wrist size is this watch suitable for?
With a width of 21mm, 33.5mm Lug-to-lug and a thickness of 7mm, it is a ladies' format, designed for slim to medium wrists. It can be worn alone or paired with slim bracelets.
How is this watch dated?
By its serial number, engraved on the caseback. At Seiko, the first digit indicates the year within the decade and the second the month: 59•••• corresponds here to September 1995, a period consistent with the 1F21 calibre.
Is the strap original?
No. The brown crocodile leather strap was fitted as a replacement; the Lug width of 12mm, a common size, makes it easy to change. The dial, hands, crown and the original gold-tone pin buckle are original.
How should a gold-plated case be cared for?
A soft, dry cloth is sufficient for routine care. It is preferable to avoid abrasive products, household cleaners and prolonged contact with perfumes or creams.
How do delivery and payment work?
The piece is shipped with tracking and insurance by a trusted carrier, to a collection point or to your home depending on the destination. Delivery is free.
