V701\u003cbr\u003eA refined Japanese classic where elegance meets engineering.\u003cbr\u003eIn the late 1970s, Seiko decided to take Grand Seiko's mechanical excellence in a new direction: the Credor series, centered on pure elegance, minimalism, and meticulous craftsmanship, was born.\u003cbr\u003eThis particular reference V701-1T30 is one of the models that most purely embodies the \"less is more\" ethos of Japanese watchmaking in the early 1990s. The spiral gioché patterns on its gold-toned surface, which move with the light, make the watch almost a piece of jewel-like elegance. At just 5.8 mm thick, it's too thin to be felt on the wrist, yet its details are unforgettably impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIMPORTANT NOTE: Since this product will be shipped within the European Union, you will not pay customs duties within the EU.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacture and Description\u003cbr\u003eBrand\/Model: Seiko Credor Ref.
