AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Presented for your consideration is a rare artifact of Japanese horological innovation: the Seiko Laurel Fine Ceramics. Released in October 2007 exclusively for the Japanese Domestic Market, this timepiece represents a unique collaboration between Seiko’s watchmaking pedigree and Kyocera’s expertise in advanced materials.
The case and bracelet are crafted from a proprietary Titanium-Ceramic alloy, offering a high-gloss, scratch-resistant finish that remains as sharp today as it was in 2007. The aesthetic is anchored by a stunning white dial featuring a traditional Japanese floral motif, a subtle nod to the "Laurel" heritage that began with Japan's first wristwatch in 1913.
Case & Bracelet: The Kyocera ceramic construction is virtually pristine, showing the material's legendary resistance to wear.
Clasp & Caseback: Being pure titanium (softer than the ceramic alloy), there are visible desk-diving scratches on the clasp and light marks on the caseback consistent with daily use.
Crystal: The Sapphire crystal is flawless.
Mechanical: The Kinetic movement is working perfectly, holding a robust 50-hour power reserve on its capacitor, on a full wound.
Technical Specifications
Dimensions: A classic 34.5mm diameter, 39mm lug-to-lug, and an ultra-slim 8mm profile.
Case: Black Kyocera Ceramic/Titanium alloy with polished chamfers and satin-finished surfaces.
Dial: White with a "Manual Finish" floral pattern and gold-tone accents.
Crown: Onyx cabochon.
Movement: Seiko Kinetic (Capacitor-driven, no battery changes required).
Lugs: Drilled lugs for effortless strap changes.
Fitment: The integrated bracelet is currently sized for a 16cm (approx. 6.3 inch) wrist.
Collector's Note
This is not your standard vintage Seiko. Between the onyx cabochon crown, the two-tone gold-plated bezel, and the drilled lugs, it is a masterclass in "hidden" luxury. It wears with the elegance of a luxury brand but carries the soul of Japanese engineering.
All my watches come with insured&tracked shipping. No EU customs fees but they might apply outside of the EU, depending on your ZIP code and are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
Happy bidding!
