Seiko Spirit 7N43-7180 "Snowflake" 1993 Quartz Watch

Vintage Seiko Spirit 7N43-7180 Snowflake Dial 1993 Quartz Watch Watch Uhr

This is why Seiko was still so fantastic in the 90s, the dials were simply great. This is also the case with this vintage Seiko watch with a fantastic “snowflake” dial. This concerns the reference 7N43-7180 which is a JDM (Japan Domestic Market) model from 1993. This is model SCDC001 from the 1993 catalog, priced at 20,000 Yen back then. It has a 5 ATM water resistance rating, but I would not recommend swimming or diving with this vintage watch.

Watch was fitted with a new battery in March 2024. The watch, case and strap have been ultrasonically cleaned and are therefore completely neat again.

Note; The movement functions perfectly, quickset day + date works, but the date adjustment is a bit stiffer than I am used to, the crown also seems to be loose/crooked. Caution is advised when setting on time.
