Seiko vintage: a gold-plated small seconds watch, a tribute to the Laurel 1913
This Seiko vintage watch, reference 2628-0030, is an elegant dress piece with a gold-plated cushion case, a white dial with Roman numerals and small seconds. Its style is directly inspired by the Seiko Laurel of 1913 — the brand's very first wristwatch — from which it takes the enamel-style dial and distinctive small seconds. With its versatile proportions, it can be worn just as easily on a man's wrist as on a woman's. A piece with retro charm and elegant readability, ideal for everyday wear as well as evenings out.
The white dial, with an enamel-style finish, highlights fine black Roman numerals framed by a railroad minute track, and a small seconds subdial positioned just above 6 o'clock. Beautiful blackened leaf hands glide over the whole for crisp, refined legibility. A classic, timeless dial, a tribute to the golden age of the first Seiko wristwatches.
This Seiko is powered by the Quartz caliber 2628, a reliable and precise analog movement with small seconds, specially designed for this dial layout. It runs on a battery and perpetuates the legacy of Seiko, the quartz pioneer with the 1969 Astron. A controlled movement, ensuring precise everyday operation, with no burdensome mechanical maintenance.
With its 28mm case in a gold-plated cushion shape, this vintage watch offers an elegant, versatile format on both a man's and a woman's wrist — a true Unisex. The dial, hands and the Crystal crystal are in very good condition. It comes on a genuine crocodile leather strap, not original, with a gold-plated buckle.
