Seiko vintage: a dress watch with a black dial
This Seiko vintage watch features an elegant stainless steel tonneau case, with the geometric lines typical of the 1980s. Its mirror black dial, deep and graphic, gives it a confident presence despite its slim, dressy format. It can be worn equally well on a man’s wrist or a woman’s. A vintage watch in a refined Japanese (JDM) style, ideal for everyday wear as well as for more formal occasions.
The black dial is the signature element of this Seiko: a mirrored surface enhanced by a finely printed geometric grid, creating a subtle play of lines depending on the light. The discreet « Seiko Quartz » signature stands out with understated elegance, accompanied by slender baton hour markers and three steel hands — hours, minutes, and seconds. A graphic and refined dial, faithful to the spirit of 1980s dress watches.
This Seiko watch is powered by the caliber 7431, an analog quartz movement produced by the manufacture in the 1980s, which equipped its slim dress watches. It displays the hours, minutes, and seconds with the precision characteristic of quartz. A quartz watch offers greater accuracy than most mechanical watches: a simple battery is enough to power it for years, without mechanical servicing.
With its 25mm case width and a profile of only 6.2mm, this vintage watch can be worn equally well on a man’s wrist or a woman’s — a true Unisex watch. It is fitted with its original integrated-link steel bracelet, adjustable to approximately 20cm. The original dial is in fine condition; the case and the Crystal show a few light signs of wear, normal for its age and disclosed with complete transparency.
