What to say about this amazingly atypical watch, the 1986 Seiko 2C21 -5560 womens watch, with its original Seiko 2C21 instructions manual?
Many Seiko watches from the 1960’s through the mid-1980’s have rightly gone down as design classics, building a considerable following amongst watch collectors.
Some truly gorgeous watches from the same era produced by the same company have quietly slipped under the radar for the simple reason they were designed for the typically slighter wrist, ie: women.
The design of the 2C21 quartz watch here follows suit - classic and simple.
But it’s a shame, because many of these smaller watches feature exquisite details – Seiko found an original, great looking formula for its watches, and stuck with it. The quartz movements Seiko designed for watches like these are tough and reliable – and stylish!
This atypical Seiko 2C21 comes on a stainless-steel bracelet, and with nylon strap, rugged travel case, Seiko instructions manual, and springbar tool.
