A rare and elegant Seiko Spirit 5E21-6000 from May 1996, featuring a slim 33mm profile, gold-plated case, and a warm gold champagne dial. The understated design gives it a refined vintage dress-watch character, while the slim quartz movement makes it particularly comfortable on the wrist.
Adding to its appeal is the 40th Anniversary engraving for Nihon AutoPark K.K. on the caseback, giving this particular example a documented commemorative character that sets it apart from a standard Spirit.
