Seiko 1970 61-8019 Stainless Manual

I kept this Seiko because it does something I always appreciate in a watch: it looks simple at first, and then gets more interesting the longer I stare at it. The large (for the era) dial is extremely clean, but not at all plain. The faceted applied markers and sharply shaped hands give it a lot of character, and the whole thing feels elegant without trying too hard. It is a very restrained design, but a striking one.
