A Seiko 1F21-5B70 from 2004, gold-plated oval and white dial
This Seiko 1F21-5B70 dates from 2004. Its gold-plated oval case, with curved sides, extends vertically: it measures 20.5mm wide, 33.5mm lug-to-lug and 7mm thick, an elongated silhouette that follows the line of the wrist.
The white dial features black Arabic numerals with a fine outline and a discreet minute track. The dark hands indicate the hours and minutes, and a slim centre seconds hand sweeps across the dial. The Seiko signature sits below 12 o'clock, with a gold emblem above 6 o'clock.
The watch is powered by the Seiko 1F21 calibre, quartz, made in Japan. The original gold-tone crown is positioned on the right side, and the caseback is steel. The sapphire crystal is rated 9/10.
It is fitted with a black crocodile leather strap, fastened by an original gold-tone pin buckle, on a 12mm lug width.
