Seiko

This is a watch I've had for many years, which is seldom seen and seldom worn, but it does have some stylistic charm. I will let the pictures speak.







Angular comes to mind - almost "brutalist" in its architecture



But not from the back, where it's much more conventional



The clasp is easy to adjust, requires no link removal, and very comfortable.





The first thing I'm going to do after this morning's article is put it into the ultra-sound cleaner!

There are two "jewels" set above the dial at 12. Stylistic floral engravings embrace the gold frame around and above the dial. Stubby hands and bold markers declare the time, while a relatively huge moon circles below the dial.



Graceful script proudly proclaims 23 Jewels and Automatic. From what I have read, THIS IS THE ONLY SEIKO AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT WITH MOONPHASE

The bracelet must have been a very tricky manufacturing challenge. It's smooth and silky on the skin while simple on the front and complex from the back



The movement is unadorned but does its work without any fuss or claims to fame -- it's the workhorse 6309 with moonphase modification, making it a 6347 (21,600 bph), with quickset date and moon phase.



It appears to have never been serviced. 

I hope this has provided a bit of diversion on your Tues or Wed. 

Cheers,

Cazalea
