Atelier Note
A rectangular Seiko Spirit in steel, polished chamfered bezel, gold-tone lugs and original striped steel bracelet, silver-grey dial with gold-tone markers. Checked, new battery, delivered with its Atelier Victor invoice serving as a certificate.
A rectangular Seiko Spirit in steel, integrated striped bracelet
The rectangular case, 24.5 mm wide, measures 6 mm thick. Its polished bezel, bevel-cut at the four corners, frames the dial like a mirror; the brushed case sides receive, at each lug, a gold-tone attachment articulating the bracelet. The steel caseback bears the reference of the piece.
The silver-grey satin dial features twelve applied gold-tone baton markers, doubled at 12 o'clock. The gold-tone dauphine hands and slender centre seconds match it tone on tone. The Spirit mention is printed below 12 o'clock, the Seiko signature above 6 o'clock, with no date window or other inscription.
The calibre 7N01 is a Japanese three-hand quartz movement, with no date, produced by Seiko from the 1990s onward. A new battery has been fitted. The serial number dates production to September, with the year estimated as 2003.
The original steel bracelet, with striped links integrated into the attachments, closes with an original steel Buckle; its 20 cm length is adjustable. With 32 mm of Lug-to-lug, the watch can be worn on a man's wrist as well as a woman's wrist, as a dress watch in a restrained format.
Three points to note

Original steel bracelet — Striped links integrated into the gold-tone attachments, original Buckle, adjustable to 20 cm.
02
Polished chamfered bezel — A mirror-like frame contrasting with the brushed sides and gold-tone attachments, within a 6 mm thickness.
03
Original Spirit dial — Satin silver-grey, gold-tone markers and hands, centre seconds: no retouching.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Seiko Spirit line?
Spirit is a line of dress watches distributed by Seiko, mainly on the Japanese market, built around quartz calibres. We attribute no history to this piece that we cannot verify.
Is the bracelet original and what size is it?
Yes. The steel bracelet with striped links and its Buckle are those of the watch. Its 20 cm length is adjustable to fit the wrist.
Are the gold-tone lugs made of gold?
No. The lugs linking the steel case to the bracelet are gold-tone, not solid gold; they provide the two-tone touch of this reference.
Is this watch suitable for a woman's wrist?
Yes. At 24.5 mm wide, 32 mm Lug-to-lug and 6 mm thick, it wears equally well on a man's or a woman's wrist.
