Its polished bezel, gently sloping toward the Crystal, extends short lugs that hold the strap. The gold plating, patinated by time along the edges, retains its shine on the flat surfaces. The steel caseback bears the piece's reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe champagne dial, finely grained, features twelve applied gold-tone baton markers; the one at 12 o'clock, in black, serves as the marker.

The Seiko signature is printed below 12 o'clock, with no other inscription or window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7N01 calibre is a three-hand Japanese quartz movement, without date, produced by Seiko from the 1990s onward.
