A distinctive piece from Seiko’s late-1990s KARAT collection, this elegant dress watch showcases the refined design language that made the series so sought after. The geometric gold-tone case is paired with a bracelet adorned with alternating blush and rose pink genuine Swarovski crystals, creating a subtle play of colour without compromising its timeless appeal.
According to Seiko’s official 1998 KARAT catalogue, this collection was produced using Swarovski crystals supplied by the renowned Austrian crystal house. This example also retains its original Seiko presentation box and instruction booklet, making it a particularly complete offering.
