·SEIKO - Champion Diashock
Year 1964
Movement: Manual Wind
Case: Steel
Case size Approx. 34mm x 42mm (crown not included)
Lug width: 18 mm
If you want high-end vintage dress watches, Seiko has that too with their Grand Seiko and King Seiko lines. But vintage Seiko has far more to offer than just sport and dress watches. There are innumerable models out in the wild, a little something for every taste, and some are more obscure than others. One of the more outstanding ones are Seiko Champions. The case is stainless steel measuring 35mm wide by 42mm long with 18mm lugs. It’s a classic style with clean, slim lugs typical of early 1960s Seiko watches. The snap on case back features a distinctive engraved Seiko Champion. The glass is a simple domed acrylic crystal.
What really makes this watch stand out from the pack is the dial. The Champion collection went through several different dial designs, but this model in particular is quite stunning and unique with its pink champagne dial with a concentric outer ring. The hours markers are brushed finished.
I will let the pictures do the talking...
Asking 1200 USD
