1. Introduction We are pleased to offer this charming vintage SEIKO CHORUS Automatic (Ref. 2518-0130). This compact ladies' automatic watch perfectly captures the sophisticated style of the 1970s, featuring a distinctive tonneau stainless steel case, a silver sunburst dial, and an appealing engine-turned (fluted) bezel. Powered by the reliable 21-jewel automatic movement, it is a testament to Seiko's excellence in small mechanical watchmaking. Estimated Production Year: Circa 1970s (based on Caliber 2518 and case design). 2. Historical & Collector Value The Seiko Chorus line was dedicated to high-quality, stylish women's timepieces. This model, likely equipped with the Caliber 2518 or 2205, showcases an automatic winding mechanism in a very small form factor, a technical feat for the era. The watch's tonneau case shape, integrated bracelet style, and the Rolex-inspired fluted bezel were highly fashionable in the 1970s. This piece is a desirable item for collectors who appreciate authentic vintage mechanical watches with unique and refined styling. 3.
