Remarks The combination of a vibrant brown gradient dial and a highly reflective faceted crystal makes this Advan a compelling find for collectors. Its asymmetrical case geometry perfectly represents the bold design language of 1970s Seiko. History The Seiko Advan series was introduced in the early 1970s, aimed specifically at a younger, fashion-conscious demographic in Japan. The name Advan was derived from Advanced, representing the brand's push toward unconventional and experimental watch designs during the decade. These models often featured vibrant dials, unusual case shapes, and faceted crystals that distinguished them from traditional dress watches. This example is powered by the Seiko Caliber 7019A, a 21-jewel automatic movement equipped with a quickset date function and a day-date complication, which includes an English day wheel advanced by pushing the crown. The Advan line remains sought-after by collectors who appreciate Seiko's bold aesthetic experimentation. Payment and Shipping Payment must be completed within 1–3 days after purchase.
