Seiko Dolce 8N41-5070 Tank Tungsten Carbide Gold Brushed Dial

Before ceramic and sapphire were used as scratch-resistant materials in watches, Seiko experimented with tungsten carbide in the 1980s in their high-end Dolce range. Tungsten carbide has a hardness of 2600 Hv, which is harder than sapphire and only second to diamond. The difficulties of engineering and machining requirements are why no tungsten carbide watches are produced today, making the Seiko Dolce tungsten carbide series a rare and collectible watch. This Seiko Dolce tank is powered by the 8N41 movement, which features a hacking system and has an accuracy of +/- 1 second a day or +/- 20 seconds a year. It was an accurate quartz movement at the time and still is. With a beautiful champagne-brushed, painted-like dial in good condition and thanks to its tungsten carbide case and sapphire crystal, the watch remains in great original condition with no obvious signs of wear, clean dial, and clear sapphire cyrstal. this charming dress watch measures 30mm (including crown) by 37mm. With proper care, you can be assured that the case will remain almost scratch and wear-free for the foreseeable future.
