Object description

Case and External Construction

The timepiece is built in a hunter case configuration fashioned from gold-colored metal, listed in the source description as measuring approximately 42 mm across. Visible exterior fittings include a fluted crown and a bow positioned at 3 o'clock, with an attached chain clip and gold-tone chain.

The listing provides the case material description as 'Gold-tone / Gold-plated Metal', leaving the underlying metal and exact plating depth unrecorded in this source.

Evidence for this section
  • “Gold-tone case with fluted crown, bow, and attached chain clip at the 3 o'clock position”
  • “Case: Gold-tone / Gold-plated Metal / Approx. 42mm”
  • “Hunter Case / Gold-tone Chain”

Dial and Display Features

Visible beneath the open hunter cover is an ivory-toned dial displaying Arabic numerals and a minute track around the periphery. A subsidiary small seconds dial is located at the 6 o'clock position.

The dial is marked with 'SEIKO QUARTZ' situated below 12 o'clock. The seller cataloguing notes the dial style as 'Ivory / Cream / Arabic Numerals' with 'Small Seconds: 6 o'clock'.

Evidence for this section
  • “Open hunter cover showing an ivory-toned dial with Arabic numerals and sub-seconds at 6 o'clock”
  • “Dial marked 'SEIKO QUARTZ' below 12 o'clock and minute track along the periphery”
  • “Dial: Ivory / Cream / Arabic Numerals”
  • “Small Seconds: 6 o'clock”

Movement and Seller Markings Claims

The watch is catalogued with a quartz movement designated as caliber 7N07. The seller reports that the battery was replaced, although internal movement parts are not visible in the provided single dial-side photograph.

The listing records a country of manufacture of Japan, a 1998 production year, and special markings transcribed as '贈 内閣総理大臣' and 'Kiri Crest'. These commemorative inscriptions are not visible in the primary listing view and remain unverified seller claims.

Evidence for this section
  • “Movement: Quartz / Caliber 7N07”
  • “Battery replaced”
  • “Country of Manufacture: Japan”
  • “Special Marking: 贈 内閣総理大臣 / Kiri Crest / Manufactured: 1998”

Open research questions

  • What specific case back markings, serial numbers, or engravings confirm reference 7N07-001A and the stated 1998 manufacture date?
  • Does physical inspection of the case back or dust cover corroborate the reported '贈 内閣総理大臣' text and Kiri crest?
  • What base metal composition and plating technique are used for the case and matching chain?
