Vintage Seiko Steel Watch — Small Seconds White Dial (1983)

Seiko dress watch — Classic charm of the small seconds This vintage Seiko watch, produced around 1983, embraces traditional elegance: a white dial with Arabic numerals and a small seconds at 6 o'clock that evoke the charm of bygone mechanical watches. Yet beneath this timeless dial beats a reliable and precise quartz movement — the best of both worlds, the aesthetics of vintage and the peace of mind of quartz. The polished steel round case, understated and well proportioned, follows the codes of the classic dress watch: clean lines, slender lugs and a discreet bezel. With its measured 31mm diameter, it wears with ease, equally elegant on the wrist of a man or a woman who appreciates dress watches in a restrained format. The white lacquered dial is a fine tribute to traditional watchmaking: its black Arabic numerals outlined by a fine railroad minute track ensure perfect legibility, while the small seconds counter at 6 o'clock lends that coveted old-time watch character. The SEIKO QUARTZ signature and the blued hands complete a composition of refined sobriety, where nothing is superfluous. Protected by an Crystal crystal in excellent condition and driven by the Seiko 2628 quartz caliber, this piece is fitted with a smooth black leather strap that underscores its discreet elegance. A dress watch with timeless charm, ideal for everyday wear as well as formal attire. Selected piece, authenticated and serviced by Atelier Victor. Fast and secure international shipping.
