An oval Seiko with dress watch elegance
This vintage Seiko watch, produced around 2001, is distinguished by its oval "baignoire" silhouette — a tall, elegant, feminine format that evokes classic dress watches. While Seiko is globally renowned for its technical and sports watches, the Japanese brand has also produced very fine dress pieces, of which this dress watch is one.
The lacquered white dial is enhanced by magnificent Breguet-style Arabic numerals — fine, elegant, and slightly stylized, they bring a touch of highly sought-after classic refinement. The blued hands, whose deep blue contrasts delicately with the white of the dial, complete this meticulously executed aesthetic inherited from dress watchmaking tradition. A detail that bears witness to the care devoted to this piece.
The gold-plated oval case, with a slim 6.9mm profile, is worn with discretion and elegance. Mounted on a black leather strap in a grained finish, it offers a classic contrast between gold and black, timeless and easy to pair. Driven by a reliable Seiko quartz movement, this watch combines everyday practicality with dress charm.
With its compact 21mm dimensions, this vintage men's and women's watch offers a delicate format, ideal for slender wrists, feminine as well as masculine, in search of a discreet and elegant dress piece. A collector's piece, photographed and inspected by our team. Fast and secure international shipping.
