Atelier Note
A 5.7mm gold-plated Tank case, a champagne dial with gold-tone markers and nothing other than the Seiko signature. A 1987 watch, on burgundy leather. Checked, delivered with its Atelier Victor invoice serving as a certificate.
A 1987 Seiko Tank, gold-plated case and champagne dial
The gold-plated Tank case, rectangular with straight brancards, measures 25mm wide, 5.7mm thick and 35mm Lug-to-lug. The lugs take the strap on an 18mm Lug width; the gold-plated crown is set into the side at 3 o'clock. The caseback is steel.
The champagne dial features applied gold-tone baton markers, doubled at 12 o'clock, and the sole Seiko Quartz signature below 12 o'clock. The gold-tone hands and fine centre seconds stand out against this warm background. Dial and hands are original.
The watch is powered by the Seiko 2C21 calibre, a slim quartz movement with centre seconds. The serial number engraved on the caseback dates production to 1987.
It is fitted with a burgundy leather strap with lizard pattern, fastened by a gold-tone pin buckle. At 25mm wide and 5.7mm thick, it can be worn on a woman's wrist as well as a man's wrist, and slips easily under a cuff.
