Seiko - 沒有保留價 - CREDOR 1271-5020 - 女士 - 1987

Introduction

This Seiko Credor Ref. 1271-5020 is an elegant vintage ladies’ dress watch distinguished by its exceptionally slim rectangular case, finely textured silver dial, gold-tone accents, and jewel-like cabochon crown. Its restrained proportions and two-tone detailing reflect the refined Japanese design philosophy associated with Credor.

Historical & Collector Value

Credor was established by Seiko in 1974 as its high-end watch line, with an emphasis on carefully selected materials, slim proportions, and sophisticated design. The name is derived from the French expression crête d’or, meaning “crest of gold.” The distinctive Credor crest seen on this dial was adopted in 1980.

The case-back serial number begins with “71.” Under Seiko’s conventional serial-number format, this indicates January of a year ending in 7. Considering the Credor crest introduced in 1980, the design, movement family, and documented examples of Ref. 1271-5020, this watch is most plausibly from January 1987. The exact production date cannot be independently guaranteed without an original sales document or factory archive confirmation. Comparable examples are generally categorized as 1980s watches.

Its compact rectangular form, ultra-thin profile, vertically textured dial, and discreet gold-tone details make it an attractive period piece for collectors of vintage Japanese dress watches.
