A Seiko from 1995, gold-plated oval on camel crocodile leather
The camel crocodile leather, the gold of the case and the white of the dial echo each other in warm tones. The gold-plated case forms an elongated oval measuring 21mm wide, 33.5mm Lug-to-lug and 7mm thick; its sides curve through to the lugs, which hold the strap with a 12mm Lug width. The gold-tone fluted crown sits at 3 o'clock, and the caseback is steel.
On the white dial, twelve black Arabic numerals in a cursive style follow the oval shape of the case. The Seiko signature is placed below 12 o'clock, with a gold-tone emblem above 6 o'clock. The blue hands, in baton shape, and the centre seconds stand out clearly against this light background. Dial and hands are original.
The watch is powered by the Seiko 1F21 calibre, a 2-jewel quartz movement designed for the brand's ladies' watches. The serial number engraved on the caseback dates its manufacture to January 1995.
The camel crocodile leather strap, edged with stitching, fastens with a gold-tone Buckle pin buckle. At 21mm wide, the watch is worn on a slender wrist, alone or paired with other bracelets.

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, this is a ladies' format, suitable for slim to medium wrists.
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: 51•••• here corresponds to January 1995, a period consistent with calibre 1F21.
Is the strap original?
No. The camel crocodile leather strap and its gold-tone Buckle pin buckle were fitted as replacements; the 12mm Lug width, a common size, makes it easy to change. The dial, hands and crown 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 home delivery depending on the destination. Delivery is free.
