VINTAGE SEIKO TANK 5S21 Sweep Second Hand White Dial 1988
The Seiko 5S21-5A00 was launched under Seiko's spirit collection that seeks to create watches that focuses on the basic time telling function of the watch.
The watch features an off white Arabic dial and finished off with a navy blue sword hands.
The dial is cased within a slender stepped palladium plated case that is gives the case a silvery-white appearance comparable to platinum as palladium belongs to the same platinum group metals as platinum.
Powered by the quartz calibre 5S21, the wearer will be able to admire the hypnotic sweep that is comparable with spring drive thanks to the dampener device that damps the 4hz tick into a true continuous motion.
