Atelier Note
A champagne dial with a tight grain like canvas, twelve gold-tone markers, a gold-plated case with softened angles measuring 5.5mm thick. A Seiko from March 1987, on green crocodile leather. Checked, delivered with its Atelier Victor invoice serving as a certificate.
A Seiko from 1987, gold-plated rectangular case and grained champagne dial
The rectangular case, 27mm wide, comes in at 5.5mm thick. Gold-plated and polished, it softens its angles and frames the dial with a narrow bezel; the short lugs take the strap with an 18mm Lug width. The caseback is steel.
The champagne dial is grained with a fine, regular pattern that catches the light with every movement of the wrist. Twelve gold-tone baton markers mark the hours. The gold-tone baton hands and centre seconds are read against this light background; the Seiko Quartz signature is printed below 12 o'clock, and no aperture interrupts the dial.
The calibre 9021 is a Seiko quartz movement with centre seconds, without date. The serial number engraved on the caseback places production in March 1987.
The original gold-tone crown sits in the caseband at 3 o'clock. The watch is fitted with a dark green crocodile leather strap, fastened by a gold-tone pin buckle. With a 35mm Lug-to-lug, it can be worn on a slim men's wrist as well as on a feminine wrist, and slips under a cuff.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Seiko 9021 calibre?
An analogue quartz movement from Seiko, with centre seconds and no date. Here it drives the hours, minutes and seconds; its battery can be replaced by any watchmaker.
How is this watch dated?
By its serial number, engraved on the caseback. At Seiko, the first digit gives the year within the decade and the second the month: 73•••• corresponds to March 1987 for this reference.
Is the strap original?
No. The dark green crocodile leather strap and its gold-tone pin buckle were fitted as replacements; the 18mm Lug width makes it easy to change the strap.
Is this watch suitable for a woman's wrist?
Yes. At 27mm wide, 35mm Lug-to-lug and 5.5mm thick, it wears equally well on a slim man's wrist or on a woman's wrist.
