Dial and hands
The dial of this Seiko Type II is truly standout, featuring a vertical gradient pattern that transitions from a dark green on the sides to a bright light green in the center. The surface has fine vertical brushing that catches the light beautifully, enhancing the two-tone effect. The applied, faceted hour markers in gold harmonize with the baton-style hands (also gold), which retain very clean white lume. The applied logos of "SEIKO QUARTZ" and the quartz crystal / Type II symbol are crisp and well defined. A gold-framed day-date window sits at the three o’clock position, showing days in English and Kanji. The dial is exceptionally well preserved, offering a notably clean and vibrant appearance.

Case and crystal
The stainless steel case features a softly curved cushion shape, characterized by a pronounced circular/satin brushing on the front of the case and polished edges. The case lines remain sharp and well preserved. Only light, superficial signs of wear are present, with no deep dents. The flat crystal is clear and allows an unobstructed view of the impressive dial. The crown is integrated at the three o’clock position.
