1978 Seiko Lord Quartz gold 'TV Dial' (7853-5040)
Peak era Seiko quartz piece - the Lord models were towards the higher end of their 70s offerings and were built with high quality jewelled quartz movements. Very vintage look with a curved gold-plated case and TV dial. Inside we find a day-date complication with bilingual Japanese/English calendar, matte white dial, applied baton indices and Seiko quartz insignia.
Watch is in good working condition, keeping time as expected. Dial has a small spot of discoloration around the 8:30 mark. Case has some wear to the polish and some small spots of wear/corrosion on the rear, mostly not visible when worn. Crystal has some light scratching. Fitted to a black leather strap in good condition.
