About This Watch
The Seiko Galaxy line is known for offering elegant, well-proportioned quartz watches with excellent reliability. This Tank-style model stands out for its refined details: the mirrored bezel enhances the rectangular case, while the textured champagne dial adds depth and warmth. The watch runs perfectly and keeps accurate time, making it a practical yet stylish vintage piece.
As expected for a watch of this age, there are minor signs of wear, including small areas of plating wear on the case, bracelet, and crown, as well as very light micro scratches on the crystal. These do not detract from the overall appearance or functionality and are consistent with careful use over time.

Today, these models are increasingly appreciated for their discreet charm and enduring quality, making them excellent vintage choices for everyday wear or collection.
