This exceptionally preserved executive instrument is a distinguished vintage artifact from July 1977, as definitively proven by the serial number 778735 stamped across the solid stainless steel caseback. Produced during the height of the Japanese quartz revolution, the "Type II" line was designed to deliver high-end luxury finishing and unmatched precision directly to the Japanese domestic market. It houses the celebrated Seiko Caliber 7546 quartz movement from the Daini division, a fully jeweled, high-torque technical workhorse derived from mechanical gear-train architecture and revered by purists for its robust metal components and lifetime dependability.
The case architecture features a crisp Tanaka "Grammar of Design" profile in stainless steel, defined by sharp brushed top facets, mirrored bevels, and integrated hooded lugs. The dial is the true showstopper of this reference, showcasing an intricate silvery-white micro-grid "waffle / hobnail" tapestry texture that plays brilliantly with ambient 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 a vintage multi-link Jubilee-style stainless steel bracelet, this historic piece delivers quintessential late-1970s Japanese design prestige.
