Seiko Essential Time watch, partially gold-plated steel, SUR578P1
Partially gold-plated steel Seiko Essential Time watch with an off-white dial and 34 mm case
The partially gold-plated finish makes this Seiko Essential Time watch two-tone: in the picture, the gold-coloured bezel, crown and center links of the bracelet stand out against the silver of the brushed steel. The off-white dial has a subtle horizontal stripe pattern, gold-coloured baton indexes and a date display at three o'clock. The round case is 34 mm wide and 8 mm thick.
The case and bracelet are stainless steel, and a durable sapphire crystal protects the dial. The quartz movement runs on a battery. Water resistance of 100 m / 10 atm means the watch withstands swimming, water sports and snorkeling, but not scuba diving. The bracelet fits a wrist circumference of 135-180 mm, and the luminous coating makes the time easier to read in dim light. In 1969, Seiko launched the Quartz Astron, the first mass-produced quartz watch.
