Seiko Vintage Silver Wave Watch 2628 — Small Seconds (1982)
type: Product
description: The Japanese quartz that borrowed its small seconds from mechanical watchmaking This Seiko Silver Wave watch, powered by the caliber 2628 and produced in April 1982, can be worn equally well by a man or a woman, with a round 37mm steel case whose bezel features six visible golden screws. This detail, borrowed from the vocabulary of tool watches, contrasts with the dressy register of the dial and gives the piece its character: it belongs clearly neither to the world of sport, nor to that of the de ville watch. The champagne dial bears twelve black Arabic numerals, framed by a railway minute track and a golden rehaut. The black baton hands stand out sharply against this light background. The Silver Wave signature appears in cursive script on either side of the center, framing the subdial. For the most unusual element of this piece lies here: an off-center small seconds at six o’clock, on a quartz watch. Battery-powered movements of this period almost all displayed a central seconds hand, simpler to design. Adopting a separate subdial was a deliberate aesthetic choice, borrowed from mechanical calibers, and remains today the visual signature of the 2628 series. The caliber 2628A powering it is a 2-jewel quartz fitted with a hacking function: pulling the crown stops the seconds hand, allowing time-setting synchronized to the exact second. The golden fluted crown and the steel bracelet with golden elements complete the two-tone ensemble. With 38.5mm of Lug-to-lug and 8mm thickness, this piece is easy to wear every day. Three points to note Small seconds on a quartz — a rare aesthetic choice, borrowed from mechanical calibers and become the visual signature of the 2628 series. Bezel with six golden screws — a tool-watch detail on a dress dial, a contrast that gives this piece all its character. Hacking function — stopping the seconds hand when setting the time allows exact synchronization, absent from most quartz watches of the period. Why choose a vintage Seiko watch? Bu…
