The discreet relief of a dressy black dial
This Seiko embodies the elegance of a classic dress watch. Its round gold-plated case, slim and understated, highlights a black dial of great sobriety. The latter stands out with its tapisserie pattern, a fine vertical texture that brings the surface to life with subtle plays of light. A discreet and refined piece, designed to accompany both formal attire and everyday wear.
The textured black dial is punctuated by gold-tone round indexes, applied at each hour, which delicately catch the light. The leaf hands, gold-toned and finely drawn, add a touch of classic elegance and ensure a clear reading of the time. The mention of « Seiko Quartz » and a discreet emblem at 12 o'clock complete a composition of great balance.
Under the Crystal mineral crystal beats a Seiko Japanese quartz movement, the V701 caliber, with central seconds. A simple and proven movement, widely used by Seiko, it drives the hours, minutes, and seconds with reliability. Its maintenance is limited to the periodic battery replacement, to be entrusted to a watchmaker — worry-free mechanics for everyday wear.
With its 32mm-wide case and its Lug width of 18mm, this Seiko offers a classic size, comfortable on a wide variety of wrists, for both women and men. The original black dial and gold hands are very well preserved. The Crystal mineral crystal, however, shows fine micro-scratches, visible between 6 and 9 o'clock, disclosed with full transparency. The black crocodile leather strap, hand-made and recently fitted, completes the ensemble; its Buckle pin buckle is not original.
Three points to note
- Round gold-plated case, black tapisserie-pattern dial and gold leaf hands.
- Seiko quartz movement, V701 caliber with central seconds, reliable and easy to maintain.
- Dial and hands in very good condition; mineral crystal micro-scratched between 6 and 9 o'clock, disclosed without reservation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dial's “tapisserie” pattern?
The tapisserie pattern refers to a fine textured weave that covers the dial — here, a tight vertical grid that catches the light and adds depth to the black. Discreet yet refined, this type decoration is typical of carefully crafted dress dials and pleasantly distinguishes the piece from a plain black dial.
What are “leaf” hands?
Leaf hands (or “leaf hands”) take their name from their curved shape, evoking a stylized leaf. Elegant and classic, they traditionally adorn dress watches. On this Seiko, their golden hue matches the indexes and the gold-plated case, for a display that is both clear and refined.
What is the Seiko V701 caliber?
The V701 is an analog Seiko quartz movement with central seconds, widely distributed (it is also found under the Pulsar brand). Simple and reliable, it drives the hours, minutes, and seconds, and only requires periodic battery replacement, to be entrusted to a watchmaker. It is a proven movement, easy to maintain in everyday use.
Is the case solid gold?
No: it is a gold-plated case over a steel base, common on Seiko dress watches. The plating brings the warmth and brilliance of gold at a fraction of its price. Like any vintage watch, it may show slight signs of wear over time, which we always disclose with full transparency.
What is the condition of the Crystal?
The Crystal mineral glass has fine micro-scratches, mainly located between 6 and 9 o'clock, which we disclose with full transparency. They do not affect time reading. If you wish, a watchmaker can replace the Crystal with a new part to restore perfect transparency.
What is the international delivery time?
Dispatch within 48 hours, international delivery within 3 to 5 days, insurance included.
