Introduced in 1959, the Seiko Crown line represents a pivotal milestone in the brand's history, serving as the direct foundational blueprint for the legendary Grand Seiko series. A 35mm gold-plated case offers a warm, refined vintage luxury aesthetic, while a slim case thickness of 9.5mm and a lug-to-lug length of 43mm ensure it sits elegantly and comfortably as a classic dress piece. On the right side, a correctly proportioned, unsigned push-pull crown allows for smooth interaction with the mechanical heart inside. The elegant, elongated lugs taper gracefully, framing the case with mid-century sophistication. A domed acrylic crystal sits above a captivating, rare, textured silver dial, which features a fine, linen-like pattern that beautifully catches and diffuses light. An outer minute track surrounds applied, multi-faceted gold baton hour markers that mirror the sharp, clean design philosophy of the era. Elegant, razor-sharp Dauphine hands sweep across the face with absolute precision. Below the 12 o'clock position, the \"Seiko Crown\" script name is beautifully printed, while the \"Diashock 21 Jewels\" text sits cleanly balanced above the 6 o'clock position. On the reverse, a solid snap-on case back protects the historic Manually Wound Seikosha Cal. 560. This high-grade, robust movement features 21 jewels and beats at a traditional 18,000 beats per hour, recognised as one of Seiko's finest manual calibres from the golden era. It comes paired with an 18mm premium brown leather strap, secured by a gold-plated pin buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cb276d81-7fff-3b34-2752-92f717d696f5\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56816270868860,"sku":"15002","price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_fd3ca0a0-da0a-4a96-9fb1-fa79d3680af6.jpg?v=1779973928","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/1960s-seiko-crown-textured-dial-gold-plated-35mm-15002","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
