SEIKO Special 23-Jewel Hand-Wound Vintage Watch

SEIKO Special 23-Jewel Hand-Wound Vintage Watch

A delicate vintage SEIKO Special combining a petite round case with jewellery-like decorative details.

The silver-tone dial features raised baton hour markers together with the “Special” and “23 JEWELS” signatures. A faceted crystal surrounds the dial, catching the light subtly from different angles.

Decorative elements above and below the case connect to a slender silver-tone metal bracelet, giving the watch the appearance of a vintage piece of jewellery. Despite its petite case size, the detailed construction gives it a distinctive presence on the wrist.

Its refined silver palette works naturally with tailoring, shirts and knitwear, while also adding a vintage accent to dresses and simple everyday styling.
