Its silver dial, with a striking fibrous texture, catches the light like a frosted surface. Produced by Seiko during the 1970s, it can be worn equally well on a man’s or a woman’s wrist. A sober and refined collector’s piece, signed by the Daini Seikosha manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esilver dial\u003c\/strong\u003e is the major asset of this Seiko: a textured, almost fibrous finish that evokes frost and that enthusiasts readily compare to the snow dials of Grand Seiko. Black applied baton indexes provide contrast and legibility, while the small lightning bolt beneath 6 o’clock signals the \u003cstrong\u003eDaini Seikosha\u003c\/strong\u003e manufacture. Two slender black hands indicate the hours and minutes, in a pared-back and timeless aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this Seiko beats the \u003cstrong\u003ecalibre 2220\u003c\/strong\u003e, a 24-jewel hand-wound mechanical movement beating at the high frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Designed in the early 1970s by Daini Seikosha — the manufacture behind the famous King Seiko — this fine calibre equipped elegant dress watches. Unlike a \u003cstrong\u003equartz watch\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is wound every day by the crown and requires no battery; periodic servicing by a watchmaker preserves its proper functioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003e34mm case\u003c\/strong\u003e and slim profile, this vintage watch can be worn equally well on a man’s or a woman’s wrist — a true \u003cstrong\u003eunisex watch\u003c\/strong\u003e. The original dial and mineral Crystal are in very fine condition. It is delivered on its original black leather strap, aged and fragile, to be handled with care (replacement may be considered).
