Why This Watch?

This Ref. 8229-5040 belongs to Seiko’s SQ 100 “Sports Quartz” line, built for daily reliability with a water resistance of 100m. The sharp angular case with its gold-tone bezel nods to Seiko’s experimentation during the 80s when form met function in bold new ways.

The contrasting inner dial, subtle gold markers, and applied Roman numeral at 12 offer a clean but eye-catching aesthetic. The case wears flatter than expected, hugging the wrist comfortably.

This is a statement piece for fans of vintage Japanese quartz watches who appreciate their sharp lines, robust build quality, and timeless design language. Hard to find in todays watch world.
