Our love for vintage Seiko casuals knows no bounds, and this bold DX variant from March of ‘74 is a case study in color and style. The case is a sharply beveled tonneau with crisp corners and pleasing angles. A thin bezel surrounds a flat mineral crystal, and beneath it sits a stunning peridot green, sunburst dial with a glossy lacquer finish. It’s topped with polished and detailed monument markers, and framed by a gold block minute chapter and second hashes. The hour and minute hands are detailed batons with machined finishes, and a long slender sweep counts the seconds. The DX badge above the six o’clock marker denotes its “deluxe” status, and that’s evidenced by the choice of movement. Seiko’s 6106C offers quickset of both the day and date, and hacking seconds. It’s unpolished and completely original aside from a replacement crystal, and post service, it’s keeping near perfect time. In tow is the original five link bracelet with grooved hinges and seamless end links, and we’d encourage exploring some coordinated strap options for this one as well. Whether your looking for your first, next, or just some “color for your Fall rotation” watch, this DX is sure to be an easy ‘go to’ in any lineup
