Twelve applied \u003cstrong\u003egold-tone baton markers\u003c\/strong\u003e mark the hours, doubled by a dot minute track.

The \u003cstrong\u003egold-tone crown\u003c\/strong\u003e is original and the caseback is steel.

Unlike a sunburst finish, which reflects light in rays, the linen texture diffuses it: the dial appears matte when viewed head-on and lights up in sections when the wrist moves. On a gold-tone dial, this is what avoids the mirror effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Seiko 9021 calibre?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA three-hand analogue quartz movement developed by Seiko in Suwa, produced in the 1980s: five jewels, stated accuracy of around fifteen seconds per month, with no date. It is a simple, slim movement that Seiko fitted to its dress lines of the period. Its battery can be replaced by any watchmaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the dial original?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The linen texture is even right to the edge, the markers are applied rather than printed, and the movement code appears at the bottom of the dial as on every Seiko piece from this period. This dial has not been retouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a quartz watch require maintenance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLess than a mechanical one: no winding, no periodic maintenance, accuracy within a few seconds per month. The only routine action is battery replacement, by a watchmaker. The point to watch is not to leave a dead battery in the case: it will eventually leak and damage the movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or large wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 25mm wide, 35mm Lug-to-lug, and 5mm thick, it suits wrists of around 14 to 17.5cm — a guide, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. Its slimness matters as much as its width: at 5mm, it slips easily under a cuff. The 18mm Lug width is one of the most common, which leaves a full choice of replacement straps.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55038088773969,"sku":"584847 9021-5340","price":320.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_08263.jpg?v=1790080738","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-seiko-watch-9021-5340-rectangular-golden-linen-dial-1985","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
