Part of the Lord Quartz line — one of Seiko's most refined dress quartz collections in the late 1970s — it stands out for its meticulous finishing and bilingual day-date display. With its versatile proportions, it wears equally well on a man's or a woman's wrist.

The « Seiko Lord Quartz » signatures and emblem appear on the dial, while a day-date window sits at 3 o'clock, displaying the day in Japanese ideograms (kanji) or in English. Slim baton hands sweep over the whole for a clear, luminous reading. A sober, carefully executed dial, worthy of the finest Japanese dress watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Seiko is powered by the \u003cstrong\u003e7143 quartz calibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, a movement that sat at the top of Seiko's dress quartz range in the late 1970s — at its launch, the Lord Quartz was even more expensive than certain King Quartz models. Equipped with a quickset day-date and a hacking seconds mechanism, it runs on a battery and continues Seiko's heritage as a quartz pioneer with the 1969 Astron. A regulated movement, the guarantee of precise everyday performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e35.5 mm case\u003c\/strong\u003e in a cushion shape in steel, mounted on its original integrated steel bracelet, this vintage watch offers a versatile format that is very much of its era, equally suited to a man's or a woman's wrist — a true \u003cstrong\u003eUnisex watch\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Successor to the QZ series, it occupied a distinctive place: although catalogued under King Quartz, it was more expensive than certain King Quartz models. The 7143 calibre sat at the top of this range, making it a sought-after collector’s piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the bilingual day-date work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aperture at 3 o’clock displays the date as well as the day of the week, which can be set in Japanese ideograms (kanji) or in English.
