Brand: Seiko
Model: Goldfeather
Reference Number: 15008

Movement: 25-Jewel Manual Wind Seikosha
Dial: Clean silver/white finish with applied gold-tone indices
Case Size: 35 mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: 14K Gold Filled
Production Year: 1961
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Movement serviced on 7 October 2026. Timegrapher: +18+20s/day, performing remarkably well.
Dial and Hands
The dial is exceptionally well preserved, featuring a clean silver and white finish complemented by crisp printed text. Applied gold-tone indices provide excellent depth and catch the light beautifully. The matching gold-tone dauphine hands are sharp and clean, displaying only minimal oxidation, completing a highly refined aesthetic.
Case and Crystal
The 14K gold-filled case is defined by its strikingly thin profile, displaying honest wear consistent with age, including light scratches on the lugs and flanks. The thin bezel shows some tarnish and light wear along its edges, maintaining the watch's vintage character. An unsigned gold-tone crown with a knurled edge sits cleanly against the case side. The domed acrylic crystal is clear, presenting only minor superficial scratches.
Movement
Powering the watch is a 25-jewel manual wind Seikosha movement, specifically engineered by the Daini Seikosha factory to fit within the ultra-slim case profile. The mechanism features clean plates and a visible going train, with minor surface scratches noted. The movement is correctly engraved with "TWENTY-FIVE 25 JEWELS" and "SEIKOSHA", along with the number 229803. The timegrapher recorded +18+20s/day. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece. The movement was serviced on 7 October 2026.
Strap

History
Introduced in 1960 by the Daini Seikosha factory, the Seiko Goldfeather was a significant technical achievement, holding the title of the world's thinnest centre-second watch at the time of its release.

Designed with a specially engineered manual wind movement to achieve its remarkably slim profile, the Goldfeather remains an important milestone in Seiko's mid-century pursuit of precision and refined design.
