Up for grabs is this totally 80’s Seiko 6530-5430 quartz gold-tone ultra-thin tank-style dress watch. Very unique piece features a mosaic track and faceted metal "jewels" around the dial perimeter. [**Link to additional images and timestamp.**](https://imgur.com/a/J45MEmM) Case size is 25.5 millimeters wide and 34 millimeters tall. The bracelet is the original length as it came from the factory. In other words, it’s never been trimmed or cut and will fit a huge (about 8” wrist). Used condition with scratches, nicks, and some thinning gold-plate on the 3 o'clock case side, as shown in photos. Also, the crystal has an abrasion in the bottom left corner. Watch has a fresh battery and keeps good time. **Asking $199 or best reasonable offer** includes free shipping within the United States. International shipping may be available at extra cost. Payment via regular PayPal or Zelle. Thanks for the look!

	Established:	1881

	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
