There are many vintage Seiko watches popular with Seiko enthusiasts, and for good reason - Seiko found an original, great looking formula for its watches, and stuck with it.
And this two-tone 1989 Seiko 1A00-0B30 womens dress watch, with its original likewise two-tone stainless-steel Seiko bracelet, is a great example of this successful formula.
This Seiko quartz dress watch, like the automatic designs that preceeded it, is classic and simple, borrowing heavily from the mechanical watches before it. Women's watches produced by Seiko in the 1970’s and 80’s are beautiful watches with exquisite details - and less expensive than their larger counterparts for men - but new crystals and bezel inserts can be difficult to find (thankfully not a problem here!)
The quartz movements Seiko designed are tough and reliable – during its heyday, these were popular with armed forces for this same reason.
This vintage Seiko dress watch comes on its original stainless-steel bracelet, and with rugged travel case and springbar tool.
