Seiko tonneau: a dress watch in steel with small seconds
This Seiko tonneau watch is an elegant dress piece with a steel case in tonneau form, featuring a refined cream dial with Roman numerals. Enhanced by a small seconds and superb blued hands, it embodies the classic elegance of dress watches. In a versatile size, it can be worn equally well on the wrist of a man or a woman. A sober and distinguished Japanese watch, ideal for everyday wear as well as evenings out.
The cream dial is elevated by a delicate sunburst guilloché pattern at the center, framed by black Roman numerals and a slim railway minute track. The Seiko signature appears beneath 12 o'clock, while a small seconds counter animates the lower part of the dial at 6 o'clock. Slim blued hands sweep across the whole, adding a touch of elegance and a beautiful contrast. A clear and luminous reading, in the great tradition of dress watches.
This Seiko is powered by the 6G28 quartz caliber with small seconds, a reliable and precise analog movement, battery-powered. Seiko, a quartz pioneer with the 1969 Astron, is renowned for the quality and longevity of its calibers. A controlled movement, guaranteeing precise everyday timekeeping, without demanding mechanical maintenance.
With its 34mm case in steel in tonneau form and its scratch-resistant Crystal in sapphire, this watch offers an elegant and versatile size, on the wrist of a man or a woman — a true Unisex watch. The dial, hands, and sapphire Crystal are in very fine condition. It is fitted with a crocodile-style leather strap, not original, with a steel Buckle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tonneau-shaped watch?
The tonneau shape refers to an elongated case with curved sides, close to the rectangular “Tank” silhouette popularized by Cartier in the early 20th century. This dress shape is elegant and distinctive, and sits beautifully on the wrist. This piece is not a Cartier: it is a Seiko, a Japanese manufacture, which captures this dress-watch spirit.
What is a small seconds complication?
The small seconds is an off-centre seconds counter, positioned here at 6 o'clock, separate from the central hand. It is a refined horological detail, appreciated for its elegance and the readability it brings to the dial.
What is the movement of this Seiko?
It is equipped with the Seiko 6G28 quartz calibre with small seconds, a reliable and precise analogue movement powered by a battery. Seiko launched the world’s first quartz wristwatch, the Astron, in 1969, and remains a benchmark in the field.
Is the Crystal scratch-resistant?
Yes. This watch is fitted with a Crystal, the hardest material after diamond used in watchmaking. It offers excellent scratch resistance and preserves the legibility of the dial over time.
Is this watch suitable for a man or a woman?
It is a Unisex watch. Its 34 mm tonneau case is equally suited to a masculine or feminine wrist. Its cream dial with Roman numerals and dress-watch format make it an elegant watch for all occasions.
