A Rare and Original Seiko Vintage with a 24-Hour Dial
This {{1fa5300b9846f2281ad19d}} vintage watch, produced around 1990, is immediately appealing thanks to its dual-display 24-hour dial — an original and rare graphic choice that sets this piece apart from conventional dress watches. On the same dial, classic Roman numerals (I to XII) for daytime hours coexist with Arabic numerals (13 to 24) for evening and nighttime hours. An intuitive reading of the 24-hour format, expressed with classical horological elegance.
The two-tone dial also plays on two registers: an off-white outer ring on which the numerals are arranged, and a central champagne cream zone that brings warmth and depth. The Seiko Quartz signature in gilded lettering at the top, baton hands with a gold and black bi-color finish: every detail bears witness to the care that Seiko devoted to its dress pieces of this era.
The round gold-plated case measuring 31.5mm has an ultra-thin 5.5mm profile, a welcome slenderness that allows the piece to slip neatly under a cuff. Powered by the Seiko calibre 5Y30, a reliable and precise Japanese quartz movement, it offers the practicality of quartz in a case with decidedly vintage charm.
Fitted with a black crocodile-style leather strap, this Seiko vintage is an atypical piece, perfect for anyone seeking an original dress watch, far removed from uniform dials. Unisex format, equally suited to a man's or a woman's wrist. Selected piece, authenticated and serviced by Atelier Victor. Fast and secure international shipping.
