A Seiko 9021-5100 from 1985, gold-plated cushion case and champagne dial
This Seiko 9021-5100 dates from 1985. Its gold-plated cushion case, with slightly curved sides, measures 28mm wide, 36.5mm Lug-to-lug, and only 6mm thick: a slim dress watch profile.
The champagne dial has a grained finish, whose texture catches the light. It features gold-tone baton markers, doubled at 12 o'clock, and a dotted minute track. The gold-tone hour and minute hands match the markers, as does the fine centre seconds hand. The Seiko Quartz signature sits below 12 o'clock.
The watch is powered by the Seiko 9021 quartz calibre, made in Japan. The original gold-tone crown is set on the right side, and the caseback is steel. The mineral Crystal is rated 9/10.
It is fitted with a handmade black crocodile leather strap, closed by a gold-tone pin buckle, on a 17.2mm Lug width.

Frequently asked questions
How is this watch dated?
By its serial number, engraved on the caseback, 5840••. At Seiko, the first digit gives the year in the decade, here 5, and the second the month, here 8: the piece dates from August 1985.
How should reference 9021-5100 be read?
At Seiko, the first four digits designate the calibre, here the quartz 9021, and the next four the case. The reference is engraved on the caseback, next to the serial number.
What maintenance does a quartz movement require?
A battery change every two to three years or so, to be entrusted to a watchmaker to preserve the caseback gasket.
Is this piece suitable for a slim or larger wrist?
At 28mm wide, 36.5mm Lug-to-lug and 6mm thick, it suits wrists of around 15 to 18cm — a guide, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. It slips under a cuff.
