Vintage Seiko Gold-Plated Watch — Gold Dial Dress Watch (1982)

Seiko dress watch — Rectangle with cut-off sides and gold dial This vintage Seiko watch, produced around 1982, is a dress watch in the grand tradition of the 1980s: a gold-plated case in a rectangular shape with beveled corners, topped with a sunburst gold dial in a tone-on-tone finish. A sober and refined piece, designed to slip under the cuff and accompany the most elegant outfits. The rectangular cut-corner case embraces a dressed geometric style: its cut corners and four decorative screws at the corners give it an architectural presence, halfway between the classic dress watch and a more assertive design. With its ultra-thin 5.6mm profile, it embodies the discreet elegance of fine watches, the kind that is felt more than imposed. The gold dial is a beautiful exercise in monochrome: a sunburst gilded base, framed by a drawn rectangular chapter ring that structures the reading, with fine baton hour markers and a minute track. The SEIKO QUARTZ signature finds its place in the central frame, while the golden hands traverse this luminous dial with restraint — a composition full of reserve, without a seconds hand to preserve the purity of the whole. Driven by a reliable and precise quartz Seiko caliber, this piece is fitted with a black crocodile leather strap that underscores its dress character and contrasts elegantly with the gold of the case. Unisex format of 25.5mm, ideal for slender wrists. Selected piece, authenticated and serviced by Atelier Victor. Fast and secure international shipping.
