Its polished bezel, cut with bevels at the four corners, frames the Crystal like a mirrored frame; the short, faceted lugs extend the caseband without interruption. The gold plating, patinated by time along the edges, retains its shine on the polished surfaces. The steel caseback bears the piece's reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold-tone dial features a sunburst finish that shifts with the light. Twelve applied gold-tone baton markers, highlighted with a black line and doubled at 12 o'clock, surround the dial with a dotted minute track. The black baton hands and slender centre seconds stand out in contrast. The Seiko signature is printed below 12 o'clock, the word Spirit above 6 o'clock, with no window or other inscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe calibre 7N01 is a Japanese three-hand quartz movement, without date, produced by Seiko from the 1990s onward.
