Two dials, driven by two independent quartz movements, make it possible to read two time zones simultaneously. Unisex, this piece is equally suited to a man or a woman. Its \u003cstrong\u003etonneau gold-plated case\u003c\/strong\u003e, with its elongated vertical silhouette, measures 20mm wide (21mm including the crown) for a Lug-to-lug of 34mm and a thickness of 6.6mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003etwo stacked white dials\u003c\/strong\u003e create a face that is both technical and refined. The upper dial, with Arabic numerals, and the lower dial, with baton hour markers and a minute track, are each set independently. The SEIKO signature and the gold \u003cstrong\u003e\"N\" logo\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Noie line are placed at the center, where the two displays meet. The \u003cstrong\u003eblued hands\u003c\/strong\u003e stand out elegantly against the light background of each dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside beat \u003cstrong\u003etwo independent quartz movements\u003c\/strong\u003e, one per dial, each powered by its own crown. This is a construction far more accomplished than a simple single-hand GMT mechanism: each time zone is set separately, to the minute. The movements of this example were checked by our watchmaker and the batteries replaced before shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wrist, this piece is unlike any other. Its vertical \u003cstrong\u003etonneau case\u003c\/strong\u003e, its two side crowns and its double dial give it a singular presence and character, halfway between a horological object and a travel accessory. It is fitted with its original black \u003cstrong\u003ecrocodile-style leather\u003c\/strong\u003e strap, with a Buckle buckle. The Lug width of 12mm directs the choice of replacement straps toward slimmer widths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree points to note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe watch houses two independent quartz movements, one per dial: each time zone is set separately via its own crown, a rare construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe caseback shows signs of use.

You can keep your home time on one dial and that of another time zone on the second: practical for travel, international work, or staying in sync with a loved one abroad. Each dial is set via its own crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does this Seiko have two crowns?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause it houses two independent quartz movements, one per dial. Each crown controls its own display, allowing the two time zones to be set separately. It is a rarer and more accomplished construction than a simple GMT mechanism with a single hand, and that is the true horological appeal of this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the “N” logo on the dial mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe small gold hexagonal “N” logo is the signature of the Seiko Noie line, a dress collection from the brand. It is an original element, characteristic of this range, confirming its attribution and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this Seiko Dual Time water-resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Water resistance is never guaranteed on a vintage watch: the original gaskets have aged and the case-back pressure is no longer what it was on day one. Avoid the shower, swimming pool, and sea. A simple contact with rainwater, however, poses no difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a rather masculine or feminine watch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts tonneau case, 20mm wide, makes it ideally a piece with a measured format, with an elongated vertical silhouette that gives it a greater presence than its width might suggest. That said, a watch is also a matter of style: depending on taste and the desired look, it is equally well worn by a man or a woman who appreciates dress watches with an original character. Market value is only a benchmark, never a rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54500522459473,"sku":"490934 1E20-3A00","price":1.05,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/montre-seiko-noie-dual-time-1e20-3a00-plaque-or-deux-fuseaux-1994-atelier-victor-1.jpg?v=1787406145","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-seiko-noie-dual-time-1e20-3a00-gold-plated-two-time-zones-1995","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
