This exceptionally preserved vintage executive instrument is a distinguished artifact from February 1978, as definitively verified by the serial number 828799 stamped across the solid stainless steel caseback. Produced during the golden era of Seiko’s quartz revolution, the "Type II" series was created to deliver accessible, high-precision luxury for the Japanese domestic market. It houses the legendary Seiko Caliber 7546 quartz movement from the Suwa division, a fully jeweled, high-torque workhorse derived from mechanical gear-train architecture and celebrated by purists for its serviceable metal components and robust reliability.
The case architecture features an integrated angular barrel-style stainless steel profile with sharp brushed horizontal planes, polished bevels, and hooded lug integration. The dial is the centerpiece of this reference, showcasing an exquisite silvery-white woven "tatami / basketweave" texture that reveals incredible depth under direct light. It is elegantly appointed with applied faceted baton indices, black-striped pencil hands, a framed Kanji/English day-date calendar window at 3 o'clock, and the applied Type II emblem above 6 o'clock. Completed on its vintage stainless steel link bracelet, this timepiece offers quintessential late-1970s Japanese design prestige.
