Its textured white dial, punctuated by black Roman numerals, gives it a dressy and timeless allure. Produced by Seiko in the 1970s, it can be worn just as well on a man’s wrist as on a woman’s. A discreet and refined collector's piece, ideal for any occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finely textured \u003cstrong\u003ewhite dial\u003c\/strong\u003e evokes, through its delicate grain, the finest dress dials — an effect that enthusiasts readily compare to the snow dials of Grand Seiko. Elegant black \u003cstrong\u003eRoman numerals\u003c\/strong\u003e ensure legibility, while the small lightning bolt beneath 6 o'clock identifies the Daini Seikosha manufacture.

Unlike a quartz watch, it is wound each 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\u003e28mm case\u003c\/strong\u003e and slender profile, this vintage watch can be worn just as well on a man’s wrist as on a woman’s — a true \u003cstrong\u003eUnisex watch\u003c\/strong\u003e.
