Condition

The watch remains in good vintage condition with honest signs of age. The stainless steel case shows light wear consistent with decades of careful use, while the original textured dial remains well preserved with attractive vintage character. Scratches are present on the crystal, as expected for a watch of this age, but they do not significantly detract from its overall presentation. Overall, it remains an elegant mechanical timepiece with plenty of vintage charm.

Notes

Elegant, understated, and distinctly vintage, this Seiko Socie showcases the refined design language Seiko became known for during the 1970s. The soft TV-shaped case gives the watch a unique silhouette, while the textured linen dial adds depth and sophistication that changes subtly as it catches the light. Its compact proportions make it an excellent everyday vintage dress watch without feeling overly delicate.

An interesting detail about the Socie collection is that it sat within Seiko’s broad family of domestic market dress watches, offering reliable mechanical movements in stylish, fashion-forward case designs. During the 1970s, Seiko experimented extensively with TV-shaped, cushion, and tonneau cases as modern alternatives to traditional round watches. Today, these distinctive shapes have become increasingly appreciated by collectors as vintage watch design continues to make a strong comeback, giving pieces like this Socie a character that stands apart from conventional dress watches.
