A favourite watch of mine: a 1980 Seiko Grand Quartz reference 9942-7000. This was shot in natural light, but it was under exposed (adjusted whilst I shot it) to highlight some of the exquisite finishing and contrasting surfaces. I still struggle to comprehend how they achieved some of the textures. The bezel is a true work of art: two polished bevels and a texture on the vertical that matches the case.
Hope everyone is safe and well,

I hadn't included any detailed pictures here of the bracelet, but it has quite an intricate design: the pattern on the top of the case continues on to the bracelet and there is a fine polished bevel on the outer edge of the case that continues on to the b...
Love it!
Thanks for the additional photo of the bracelet -- so in keeping with Seiko's aesthetic sensibilities. Wonderful.
