AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Presented for auction by Second Vintage
This classic 70s Seiko Quartz Type II draws immediate attention with its striking brown vertically brushed dial and distinctive 1970s angular case geometry. Powered by a reliable early quartz caliber, it delivers a highly textured visual presence and honest vintage character.
Brand: Seiko
Model: Type II
Reference Number: 7546-700A
Serial Number: 761819
Movement: Quartz caliber 7546
Dial: Brown vertically brushed with applied indices
Case Size: 36mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1977
Condition: Good vintage condition.
Dial and Hands
The dial is defined by a striking brown vertically brushed texture that catches the light beautifully. Applied indices and an applied Seiko logo provide depth, while the text printing remains crisp. Minor dust specks are visible under macro inspection, though the face is overall well preserved. The baton style hands feature white central stripes and maintain a clean finish with no visible oxidation, presenting in excellent condition.
Case and Crystal
The stainless steel case features an angular tonneau shape characteristic of the era, crafted with brushed top surfaces and polished flanks. An integrated polished bezel ring frames the dial. The case and bezel show moderate scratches and scuffs throughout, notably on the polished bezel area, reflecting honest wear. A small knurled crown sits at the three o'clock position. The flat mineral crystal remains clear with no significant scratches visible.
Movement
The watch is powered by the 4-jewel analog quartz caliber 7546, developed by Seiko's Suwa division in Nagano Prefecture during the 1970s. Operating at 32,768 Hz, this movement was historically rated to an accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month and features a practical battery life indicator that causes the seconds hand to tick in two-second intervals when power is low.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a period correct stainless steel bracelet featuring folded link construction. It displays a brushed finish with polished accents and exhibits moderate surface scratches consistent with age-appropriate wear. The bracelet accommodates a maximum wrist size of 18cm.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The dial and hands are well preserved, while the case, bezel, and period correct bracelet display moderate surface scratches and scuffs consistent with honest wear. The crystal remains clear and free of significant marks.
Dimensions
The case measures 36mm (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This Type II is a compelling vintage timepiece, distinguished by its textured brown dial and reliable 7546 quartz caliber. The angular tonneau case provides a highly wearable and characterful footprint on the wrist.
History
During the 1970s, Seiko's Suwa division developed the 7546 caliber as part of the brand's rapid expansion into quartz technology. The Type II line was introduced as a standard production series, making accurate quartz timekeeping widely available to the public. Today, this classic 70s Seiko Quartz is appreciated for its reliable analog movement and the distinctive, highly textured dials that defined the era's design language.
