Silver sunburst and polished dauphine-style hands define this Seiko Lord Quartz watch from 1979, reference 7143-7000. A framed day-date at 3 accompanies slim baton markers inside a 35 mm stainless steel case. Its narrow bezel and mirror-like finish give the quartz-powered watch a restrained profile, while a blue leather strap with crocodile-style embossing adds contrasting colour.
Silver sunburst, polished hands and framed calendar
The silver dial has a radial sunburst texture that catches changing light. Applied slim baton hour markers frame the display, with a day-date window at 3 providing the calendar reading. The otherwise minimal layout keeps the dials fine texture visible.
Slim dauphine-style hour and minute hands are paired with a thin central seconds hand. Their polished surfaces catch light against the silver ground, with the matching furniture preserving the watchs quiet late-1970s dress character.
Mirror-polished 35 mm case and original fluted crown
The stainless steel case measures 35 mm in diameter and 38 mm from lug to lug, with a 17 mm fitting. A mirror-like polished finish, narrow bezel and slim profile give this dress watch a compact presence. Its short span keeps the cases overall outline contained.
The original small fluted crown sits at 3. Its fine ridges provide grip for time, day and date adjustment, while its discreet form keeps the case profile clear.
Blue embossed leather replacement
The fitted blue leather strap has crocodile-style embossing and matching stitching. It is a replacement attachment rather than the original Seiko bracelet. Its texture and colour complement the bright steel and silver dial, with the straps status kept separate from the original watch head.
Quartz 7143, quick-set calendar and warranty
This quartz watch uses Seikos Japanese-made caliber 7143, a movement with quick-set day and date adjustment. Battery-powered operation supplies the timekeeping without regular winding, and the quick-set calendar makes corrections straightforward.
This used example is in excellent vintage condition, retaining its original case, dial, hands, crown and movement. The blue leather attachment is non-original. The watch is fully serviced and fully operational, with a 12-month warranty included. Worldwide shipping is available with secure packaging.
