One of Seiko's most elegant and technically advanced models in the world of women's watches: the Lady Vintage Automatic 2206-0490. Manufactured in January 1975, this piece combines the aesthetic sensibilities of its era with a high-performance automatic movement. A collector's item, this watch is both an accessory and an engineering marvel.
Case Design and Wrist Comfort
The watch's stainless steel case has a compact and ergonomic structure that gently wraps around the wrist. Integrated with its original steel bracelet, this design offers a comfort that feels almost weightless during daily use. Its classic lines and brushed finish bring together the characteristic design language of the 70s with modern elegance.
Dial Details and Condition
The heart of this watch is its deep sapphire blue dial with its stunning patterns. The sunburst texture and micro-patterns on the dial offer a different visual feast at every angle of light. The dial, in extremely high condition, features silver-toned indices and hands that create a perfect contrast. This pristine surface, free from any flaws, is the greatest testament to the care taken in maintaining the watch's condition.
Technical Specifications and Movement
It houses Seiko's high-frequency and reliable 2206A automatic movement. This 17-jewel movement features both automatic and manual winding capabilities. The day and date display is located at the 3 o'clock position, and the technical complexity offered in such a small caliber demonstrates Seiko's technological superiority at the time. Despite its age, timekeeping is remarkably accurate.
Style and Wearing Recommendation
The deep and sophisticated aura created by the blue dial makes this watch an indispensable complement to both everyday elegance and evening wear. It's a unique piece for vintage-loving women, as well as a characterful choice for those with a classic style of dress. Presented in its original box, it further enhances its value and elegant presentation.
