Vintage Seiko Champion featuring a deep black dial with subtle concentric texture, gold tone applied indices, and elegant dauphine style hands. The warm gold tone case paired with the dark dial gives this piece a rich mid century aesthetic that feels distinctly more refined than most modern dress watches. Powered by Seiko’s reliable 17 jewel Diashock movement, this watch represents the period when Seiko was rapidly establishing itself as a world class mechanical manufacturer. The textured dial catches light beautifully and gives the watch far more visual depth in person. Tiny mechanical object from another era somehow still more tasteful than most luxury watches currently screaming for attention from billboards and airport lounges.
