This elegant Seiko ladies' watch from the late 1970s exemplifies the early phase of the Japanese quartz revolution. The gold-filled cushion case combines classic lines with a pleasantly slim profile and a subtle, period-typical champagne-gold dial. The watch dates from November 1978 (serial number 833015 → "8" = 1978, "3" = March*) and is fitted with a new, original Seiko leather strap. The battery was replaced in November 2025.
The movement comes from the Seiko 16xx quartz family , known for its high accuracy, very low energy consumption, and extreme reliability. This series was an important component for Seiko in the global race for leadership in the quartz market and stands for robustness and long-lasting suitability for everyday use.
The case and case back show signs of age-related wear, which is common for gold-filled models of this era. Technically, the watch is in working order and ready to wear – a lightweight, elegant vintage piece with authentic character.
