Seiko Tank vintage: a dress watch gold-plated with a white Roman dial
This vintage Seiko Tank watch is an elegant dress piece with an elongated rectangular gold-plated case, a domed white dial with gilt Roman numerals. In Tank form inspired by Art Deco, it embodies the classic elegance of dress watches. With its versatile size, it can be worn equally well on the wrist of a man or a woman. A refined and distinguished piece, ideal for everyday wear as well as evening occasions.
The slightly domed white dial highlights generous gilt Roman numerals, a guilloché central cartouche signed « Seiko » and a date window at 6 o'clock. Beautiful gilt sword hands sweep over the whole for a clear and luminous reading. A very dressy dial, with an assertive retro charm, in the great tradition of shaped watches.
This Seiko is powered by the quartz calibre 7N39, a reliable and precise analogue movement with hours, minutes and date display, which notably equipped the brand's Premier dress lines. Battery-powered, it perpetuates Seiko's heritage, a quartz pioneer with the 1969 Astron. A checked movement, guaranteeing precise everyday operation.
With its 28mm case width (43mm lug-to-lug), slender profile and gold-plated Tank shape, this watch offers an elegant and versatile look, on the wrist of a man or a woman — a true Unisex watch. The dial, hands and sapphire crystal are in beautiful condition. It is delivered on a leather strap, not original, with a steel pin Buckle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a « Tank » watch?
The Tank shape, popularized by Cartier at the beginning of the 20th century, refers to a rectangular case with straight, clean lines. Highly sought after for dress watches, it brings a classic and Art Deco elegance. This piece is not a Cartier: it is a Seiko, a Japanese manufacture, which captures the same dress-watch spirit.

It is fitted with the Seiko 7N39 quartz calibre, a reliable and precise analog movement with hour-minute and date display, which notably equipped the brand's Premier dress watch lines. Battery-powered, it ensures excellent everyday accuracy without mechanical maintenance.
Is the case solid gold?
No. It is a gold-plated case over a steel base. This dressy finish offers the brilliance of gold with the robustness of steel, and fully contributes to the elegant character of this shaped watch.
Is this Seiko watch vintage?
Yes. Dated around 1996, it is approaching thirty years old. It is an authentic vintage Seiko watch, bearing witness to Japanese expertise in quartz-shaped dress watches.
Is this watch suitable for a man or a woman?
It is a Unisex watch. Its 28mm wide Tank case suits both a masculine and feminine wrist. Its white dial with gold Roman numerals and dress-watch format make it an elegant watch for all occasions.
