Vintage 1986 Seiko Slim Tank Quartz | Gold-Tone, Ref. 5P30-5280, Roman Dial
Up for sale is a vintage 1986 Seiko Slim Tank quartz dress watch featuring a sophisticated rectangular layout. This timeless neo-vintage model captures the elegant "Tank" aesthetic, housing a reliable, high-grade factory Japanese Seiko Caliber 5P30 ultra-thin quartz movement built with a robust 3-jewel design. The standout feature is the unique bi-tone matte dial, configured with a subtle matte taupe inner sector and accented by a darker charcoal gray outer tracking ring displaying elongated black Roman numerals. Elegant matching gold-tone dauphine hands sweep across the minimal, seconds-hand-free face. The watch is freshly paired with a premium full-grain black leather strap that offers an exceptionally sharp, classic presence on the wrist.
Condition: New battery installed June 2026. The watch is running and keeping time. The gold-plated base-metal bezel and stainless steel snap back show minimal wear, retaining great luster with only minor hair-thin surface scuffs consistent with age. The pristine dial, hands, and crystal are exceptionally clean. Brand new full grain leather croc pattern strap installed. Note on Photos: As is typical with vintage timepieces, high-resolution close-up photography tends to overstate minor cosmetic blemishes. In person and on the wrist, this watch possesses an exceptional vintage presence that reads much smoother and cleaner than the photos suggest. Please see photos and video for more details.
