SHIPPING OFFERED
This Seiko Advan, as in "advanced design" is a watch typical of the affluent seventies. This very innovative and rare high-end watch was targeted in Japan at the richer baby boomers of that time but remains in strong demand with vintage watch collectors right up to the current day.
This watch features a unique design that makes it stand out from the rest. The unusual faceted glass is designed to match the shape of the large bezel. The dial features a two tone starburst design with gold baton hour hands, and white alpha second hand with an English and Kanji day wheel. The Advan sun symbol is designed to look like the sun rising or setting over the water with the dial broken into two colours with the horizon between them. The case is polished while the original bracelet is brushed.
It's built on the Seiko Hi-Beat automatic movement calibre 7039A, 21 jewels made by the Daini Seikosha factory, and works at a frequency of 21,600 bph. Power reserve based on specs. is 44 hours.
The date can be adjusted by pressing the gold crown lightly, the day of the week can be adjusted by pressing the crown further, and the hands can be adjusted by pulling the crown out one step. The day wheel is Kanji and English.
This Seiko Advan is increasingly rare and hard to find, and has earned the nickname seascape because on the dial you can see a panoramic view of the ocean with the sky complete with sunlight, there is a sun logo on the dial which is the hallmark of Advan.
It was a Japan only product so the numbers produced were not high. The dimensions are 39mm x 40mm. The asymmetrical stainless steel case is polished, the bezel is 18k gold, the crown is recessed at 4-o-clock. The Seiko Advan has many features in common with the higher-end King Seiko Vanac, achieving the glitz, sparkle and light reflections by using Seiko designer Taro Tanaka's "A grammar of design".
Seiko have always utilised spectacular milling and polishing to place their dials at the forefront. The gradient fuschia mirror dial is stunning, with machined gold block indices at 12 and 6, and luminous machined silver baton indices on the other hours, the gold baton hands are lumed, the alpha second sweep is white.
The watch has been overhauled, and restored with a new trihedral cut crystal and 18k gold bezel.
