Its \u003cstrong\u003eround gold-plated\u003c\/strong\u003e case, with a slim bezel and curved lugs, embodies a warm classicism serving a complex dial. It measures 34.5mm overall (36mm with the crown), with a Lug-to-lug of 40mm and a thickness of 7.3mm. An elegant and romantic piece, whose complication can be read at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ewhite lacquered dial\u003c\/strong\u003e is a small astronomical theatre. Twelve blue Arabic numerals encircle it, framed by a railroad minute track. At 6 o'clock, a \u003cstrong\u003egolden moon\u003c\/strong\u003e disc moves across a starry midnight-blue sky, surrounded by a graduated scale from 0 to 29½ days indicating the age of the moon. The date window is placed at 3 o'clock. The blued hour and minute hands respond to the numerals, while a fine golden seconds hand sweeps across the whole. The Seiko Quartz signature occupies the top of the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside beats the \u003cstrong\u003eSeiko 6F22 caliber\u003c\/strong\u003e, an analog quartz moonphase movement with date and lunar age indicator, made in Japan. It combines the reliability of quartz with a complication usually reserved for far more costly mechanical watches. The movement of this example has been inspected by our watchmaker and the battery replaced before shipping. Seiko has not published a precision specification for this caliber: we therefore make no numerical claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wrist, the piece embraces \u003cstrong\u003eromantic elegance\u003c\/strong\u003e. The warm gold-plating, white dial and blue numerals create a dressy and refined ensemble, here complemented by a black \u003cstrong\u003ecrocodile-style leather\u003c\/strong\u003e strap. This strap, original and period-correct, should be handled with care; it is fitted with a Buckle buckle. The moonphase complication makes it a watch with character, far from a simple three-hand timepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree points to note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe moonphase is not merely decorative: the graduated scale around the disc indicates the moon's actual age, from 0 to 29 and a half days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe case is gold-plated and shows scratches on the bezel, disclosed transparently and consistent with the piece's age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe leather strap is the original one; being old, it may be fragile and can be replaced if needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e→ \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/montres-seiko-vintage\"\u003eDiscover our Seiko vintage watches\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e→ \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/montres-vintage-500-1000\"\u003eSee our vintage watches from €500 to €1000\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seiko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round moonphase dress watch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6F22-8029\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 060xxx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990 (June)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Men's and women's watch (Unisex)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese quartz, caliber Seiko 6F22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hours, minutes, seconds, date, moonphase with lunar age indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-plated (steel back), round shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34.5mm (36mm with the crown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug to lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e  7.3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug width :\u003c\/strong\u003e 18mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown :\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold-plated, fluted, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial :\u003c\/strong\u003e White lacquered, blue Arabic numerals, gold moonphase at 6 o'clock, date window at 3 o'clock, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands :\u003c\/strong\u003e Blued baton hands (hours, minutes), gold seconds hand, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal :\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral, very good condition (8\/10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet :\u003c\/strong\u003e Black crocodile-style leather, original (old, to be handled with care)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuckle :\u003c\/strong\u003e Buckle, original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition and warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall condition :\u003c\/strong\u003e Very fine state of preservation.

The graduated scale around it, from 0 to 29 and a half days, indicates the age of the moon, that is, the number of days elapsed since the new moon. It is a poetic complication, here driven by a reliable quartz movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you set the moonphase?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdjustment is made via the crown, in the dedicated position, by moving the disc forward to the current lunar phase. The simplest way is to start from a recent full moon, identified on a calendar, and adjust accordingly. We deliver the watch set and can tell you how to proceed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Seiko 6F22 calibre reliable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The 6F22 is an analog quartz movement with moonphase, date and lunar age indicator, made in Japan. It offers a complication usually reserved for expensive mechanical watches, with the reliability and precision of quartz. The movement of this example has been checked by our watchmaker and is guaranteed for 1 year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this Seiko 6F22-8029 water-resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Water resistance is never guaranteed on a vintage watch: the original seals have aged and the pressure on the case back is no longer what it was on day one. Avoid showers, swimming pools and the sea. However, simple contact with rainwater does not pose any difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a 34.5mm case suitable for which wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA diameter of 34.5mm with a Lug-to-lug of 40mm suits wrists of approximately 15 to 18.5cm. It is a versatile dress format: discreet on a masculine wrist, comfortable on a slightly fuller feminine wrist. The rich moonphase dial gives it a greater presence than its dimensions suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242195538257,"sku":"060061 6F22-8029","price":370.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/montre-seiko-6f22-8029-plaque-or-phase-de-lune-cadran-blanc-1990-atelier-victor-1.jpg?v=1783983047","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-seiko-watch-6f22-8029-gold-plated-moonphase-white-dial-1990","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
