Seiko

The 1520 Shaped Seiko Movement

 

By shaped, I mean Not Round as in most watch movements. This is apparently Seiko's equivalent of the tiny JLC used in women's jewelry watches. Here's the watch on a mesh bracelet as received.

Woven mesh from a byegone era



Minimalist construction, serious lack of sealing, water resistance "take off when washing hands"



Notice the thread or hair on the stem... it still runs fine



You can't get simpler than this movement -- although maybe a Corum could be the skeletonized version of this 1520



Strap complements the hand colors, making it slightly more interesting while you are peering down at the watch, trying to read the time.

Same 1520 movement.
