An elegant expression of late-1960s Seiko design, this vintage Automatic 2517-0289 pairs refined Japanese engineering with timeless mid-century style. The gold-tone case frames a radiant silver sunburst dial, accented by faceted gold markers and dauphine hands that catch light with subtle brilliance.
Powered by Seiko’s 25-jewel automatic movement, this watch requires no battery — it winds smoothly with wrist motion for effortless accuracy. The domed acrylic crystal and compact proportions create a graceful profile that wears comfortably on the wrist, making it a beautiful everyday vintage piece.
