A Seiko Credor in solid 18K yellow gold, with a champagne dial of Roman numerals and a guilloché centre, calendar sub-dials, a coin-edge bezel and an automatic movement.
The Piece
Seiko was founded in Tokyo in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori, and Credor, its highest line of watches, was introduced in 1974.
The case is solid 18K yellow gold with a beaded bezel edge, and the champagne dial combines black Roman numerals with a finely engraved centre and calendar sub-dials. The display back shows the automatic movement. The brown crocodile leather strap is a later replacement, and the buckle is Seiko's own. The movement was inspected before sale.
The case is 38.5 mm (1.52 in) across, a figure taken from the maker's published specification for the same case code.
