Dial- alternating black and gilt; essentially flawless-what is it about Seiko’s dials that resist the effects of time so much better than their Swiss counterparts?? Hands- alpha Functions- quickset day and date Movement- reliable automatic accurate for non chronometer Look- Classic Cost- bargain basement Again how does Seiko do it?
At least it’s as intact as the day it was applied along with the markers and paint/lacquer. You’d think it’s a fluke but no Seiko’s other vintage models usually exhibit the same resilience. Obviously there’s something about the resilience of their paint (and arguably lume) composition that generally surpasses the Swiss.
