The history of this elusive watch brand is not recorded properly hence rather intriguing. According to most reliable online sources, Regent Club watches originated from Swiss watchmaker, Eigeldinger & Co of La Chaux-de-Fonds circa early 1940s.

Throughout the years, Regent Club offered a variety of wristwatches, often focusing on stylish and classic timepieces at reasonable prices. Regent Club also featured traditional designs and various complications such as chronographs, date displays, and other features. The brand also catered to a wide audience by offering a selection of men's and women's watches with various styles and designs.

While the brand may not have a long, storied history compared to some luxury watchmakers, Regent Club watches are shrouded in mystery thus adding a super high level of uniqueness to the brand, so much so that the brand is now cult based and are in high demand because they are extremely rare and elusive. It seems their last range was circa 1970s that featured super slim quartz movements which was the rage of that era.

Here we have the cultish Regent Brand Super Slim Quartz, Model RC104 that uses a Seiko Hattori Epson Quartz VX50E which is one of the best quartz movements produced by Seiko Hattori Epson and is widely used in many American / European brand watches. It also has an 18K pure gold dial that oozes class.

This watch model was extremely popular in the Japanese market because of its classy dial and impressive Seiko watch movement within.

This timepiece was given a good servicing, and its dial was meticulously cleaned, its electronic movement cleaned and touched up, demagnetised, and its battery replaced on 9 April 2024. It should be able to operate unhindered until the next battery change thereby providing the owner peace of mind.

This beautifully shaped gold case also underwent a good rub while maintaining its super sexy curves and gold plating. Most imperfections were removed without compromising the case shape; however, the underside is pitted with age marks. The crystal is original and was also given a good polish.

The crown with faux jewel tip is original and is located at the 3H position and is nicely tucked away yet easily accessible.

The case width and height are approximately 33mm (without crown) and 40mm respectively. The lug width is 18mm and the strap can accommodate wrists up to 18cm thereabouts; hence, this watch is suitable for men and the modern women.

The timepiece comes with a brand-new good-quality genuine leather strap with gold buckle.

To the best of our knowledge and expertise when overhauling the timepiece, the watch is 100% original Regent Club / Seiko Hattori Epson components from this particular watch. No parts were replaced with aftermarket parts or modified thereby it is considered in near MINT condition.

Even though the seals and gaskets are present, this timepiece has not been water-resistant tested due to its age.

The pictures provided shows the watch case 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.

Bear 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.

Yes, 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. So, it is a no-brainer that this one-of-a-kind timepiece will make an extremely beautiful birthday present for that someone special!

This is a rare Regent Club with Pure Gold Dial, Seiko Hattori Epson movement and brand new genuine leather strap in stunning condition; so, be unique and wear something that is almost impossible to source.

This is a must-have for the Regent Club / Seiko die-hard fan, and in fact, any serious watch collector!
