Introduction This vintage SEIKO Quartz Ref. 7432-5A00 is an elegant rectangular dress watch distinguished by its unusual curved date display at the top of the dial. Its slim gold-tone case, champagne-colored dial, Roman numerals and black leather strap create a refined classical appearance. The curved date scale gives the watch a distinctive character not often seen in conventional quartz watches. “Curved Date” or “Arc Date” is used here as a descriptive name for the dial design and is not an official SEIKO model nickname. Historical & Collector Value SEIKO played a major role in the development and worldwide adoption of quartz wristwatches. During the 1980s, the brand produced not only practical and accurate watches, but also a variety of creatively designed quartz models with unconventional displays and case shapes. The Ref. 7432-5A00 is particularly interesting for collectors because of its curved date scale, thin rectangular case and elegant dress-watch styling. This combination reflects the design experimentation found in SEIKO’s quartz production of the period. The case-back serial number is 563802. Based on SEIKO’s serial-number system and the production period associated with Calibre 7432, the watch is estimated to have been manufactured in June 1985.
