A Seiko 7820-5220 from 1979, gold-plated cushion case and cream dial
This Seiko 7820-5220 dates from 1979. Its gold-plated cushion-shaped case rounds its corners around the dial and measures 32.5mm wide, 35.5mm Lug-to-lug, and only 6mm thick: a slim profile that slips under a cuff.
The cream dial has black Roman numerals and a fine minute track. Two black hands indicate the hours and minutes, with no seconds hand. The Seiko Quartz signature is placed below 12 o'clock, an emblem above 6 o'clock.
The watch is powered by the Seiko 7820 calibre, quartz, made in Japan. The original gold-tone crown is set on the right side, and the caseback is steel. The mineral Crystal is rated 8/10.
It is fitted on a handmade black lizard leather strap, fastened by a gold-tone pin buckle, on a 20mm Lug width.
