The \u003cstrong\u003edual time zone\u003c\/strong\u003e model is the most recognisable: two dials one above the other, each powered by its own movement. This one bears the reference \u003cstrong\u003e1EFW-5A00\u003c\/strong\u003e; its serial number places it in \u003cstrong\u003e2006\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emain dial\u003c\/strong\u003e, at the top, is white, with black \u003cstrong\u003eArabic numerals\u003c\/strong\u003e at the twelve hours and an inner railway minute track, signed \u003cem\u003eSEIKO\u003c\/em\u003e.

The upper crown sets the main dial, the lower one sets the second. One is set to the time where you are, the other to that of a city you keep in mind — and both run without interfering with each other. Each movement has its own battery; they do not necessarily run down at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Noie line at Seiko?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA dress collection distributed on the Japanese market in the 1990s and 2000s, with slim cases, often gold-plated, and light-coloured dials. The \u003cem\u003eN\u003c\/em\u003e monogram on the second dial is its signature. The dual-time-zone model is the one by which the line is most often identified outside Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy two crowns?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause there are two movements. Each is set and reset separately, by its own crown. This is also what makes it possible to offset the second dial by any number of minutes, and not only whole hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the dials original?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The numeral printing is crisp, the inner railway minute track even, and the movement code appears at the bottom of the dial as on every Seiko piece from this period. The blued hands are original to the manufacture. Nothing has been retouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or large wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a width of 19mm, 40mm Lug-to-lug, and a thickness of 7mm, it suits wrists of around 13 to 17.5cm — a guide, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its length matters more than its width: at 40mm Lug-to-lug, it wears on the wrist like a 34mm round watch. The 14mm Lug width requires a slim strap.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55039967068497,"sku":"660650 1EFW-5A00","price":1.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_08275.jpg?v=1790080246","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-seiko-noie-1efw-5a00-watch-gold-plated-dual-time-zone-2006","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
