Quartz watches use a quartz crystal oscillator to keep time that is much more accurate than traditional mechanical movements used in wristwatches at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartz movement in the Astron was incredibly precise, with an accuracy of within 5 seconds per month, far superior to mechanical watches of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe introduction of the Seiko Quartz Astron had a profound impact on the watch industry. It marked the beginning of the Quartz Revolution that led to the decline of traditional mechanical watches in the market and the rise of more accurate and later, more affordable quartz timepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeiko's Quartz Astron was showcased at the Baselworld watch fair in Switzerland in 1970, where it received international attention and acclaim because this watch changed horology history forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Seiko Collectors and Vintage fans, this is a Seiko Dolce 5E31-6A00 which is one of the most sort after model; and its beautifully cleaned Milk White Dial Sprinkled with glitter with 3D Baton Indices and Sword hands adds class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis timepiece was given a good servicing, and its dial was meticulously cleaned, its quartz movement cleaned, and its battery replaced in November 2025. It should be able to operate unhindered until the next battery replacement thereby providing the owner peace of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crown is left uncorked to prevent battery drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2-Tone silvery gold case was cleaned and polished. Most imperfections were removed without compromising the case shape. The crystal was polished and is now in excellent condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crown is located at its traditional 3H position and is easily accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case width and height are approximately 31.6mm (without crown) and 32.1mm respectively. The lug to lug is 16.9mm and the bracelet can accommodate wrists up to 16.4cm; hence, this watch is suitable for men and the modern women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Seiko \/ Dolce Signed 2-Tone Super Engineer SS Bracelet is included as part of the deal. It too underwent a deep cleaning and polish and is now in superb condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the best of our knowledge, the watch is 100% original Seiko components from this particular watch. No parts were replaced with aftermarket parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though the case seal was replaced and crown gasket is present, this timepiece has not been water-resistant tested due to its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pictures provided show the watch in excellent condition and well maintained. The only drawback is the lack of documentation and original box. A nice purposeful carrying case or box will be provided instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBear in mind that this watch has seen many of the previous owners’ ups and downs in life and should be cherished and well taken care of for the next generation to savour such engineering beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, there are many other same models in the market, but almost all are not in the same quality condition and as well maintained as what you see here. Hence, it is a no-brainer that this one-of-a-kind timepiece will make an extremely beautiful birthday present for that special someone born in November 1987!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a highly sort-after Collectible Seiko Dolce in stunning condition; so, be unique and own a November 1977 Birthday Watch that is nearly impossible to source in such fine condition or purchase it for that special someone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Altimate Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43486570807385,"sku":null,"price":177.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/7590\/9465\/files\/IMG20260630132053.jpg?v=1782855205","url":"https:\/\/shop.altimate.sg\/products\/birthday-watch-november-1987-seiko-dolce-5e31-6a00-daini-quartz-watch-oh","provider":"Altimate Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
