This watch is a perfect example of why vintage Seiko collectors love "patina"—it tells a story while maintaining a high-end, textured aesthetic. The dial is the centerpiece: it features a rare **iridescent linen pattern** in a shifting gray/black tone. This is framed by a unique **mustard border outline** with black minute markers, creating a "radar" effect that looks like a glowing sweep on a vintage sonar screen. The dial shows some beautiful natural aging and patina around the edges and center, giving it a true vintage soul. The **bold gold-tone pencil hands** and **applied gold-tone baton indices** provide a sharp contrast against the slate gray background. Protecting the "screen" is a beautiful **domed plexiglass** crystal that adds warmth and vintage distortion at certain angles. The case is a robust, hooded-lug design with a **brushed matte finish**, featuring the classic **tucked crown at 4 o'clock**. It comes on its **original stainless steel bracelet**, which features a unique **mid-lined texture** on every center link. These vertical ridges catch the light beautifully and mirror the industrial, textured look of the linen dial. ***🔹 Key Dimensions*** * **Case Diameter:** 36mm (without crown) * **Lug-to-Lug:** 41mm * **Thickness:** 11mm * **Lug Width:** 18mm 💵 **Price: $135 shipped!** **🚢ing through UPS** 📦 **Payment: PayPal F&F** or G&S (**+4.5% fee by buyer**) or **bank wire (US banks accepted)** 📩 **DM me for more photos or a custom timestamp.** If you love 80s tech-aesthetics and watches with real character, the **Vintage Radar** is ready for its next mission.
