Title Seiko Quartz 7431-5280 – Vintage 1985 Gold-Tone Rectangular Dress Watch – Textured Gold Dial – Integrated Bracelet – Japan ⸻ Description Vintage Seiko Quartz reference 7431-5280, a slim rectangular gold-tone dress watch with a striking textured gold dial and integrated bracelet. The case back is signed “SEIKO – BASE METAL – ST. STEEL BACK – 7431-5280 RO – JAPAN K – 590442.” Seiko serial numbers use the first digit for the production year within the decade and the second digit for the month. Together with the 7431 quartz series, which was produced in the 1980s, the serial 590442 indicates that this watch was produced in September 1985 in Japan. The minimalist applied baton markers, three-hand layout and fully gold-tone dial create a clean, monochrome look that is very typical of high-end 1980s dress watches. The integrated metal bracelet completes the sleek, jewellery-like appearance on the wrist. The watch is running (quartz) at the time of listing. Long-term accuracy has not been tested; as with all vintage quartz watches, future battery changes and routine servicing may be required. ⸻ Condition Please study all photos carefully; they are part of the description.
