Design from the Quartz Era (1970s–1990s)
Discover hallmarks of the era: slim stainless-steel or gold-plated cases, integrated bracelets, linen and sunburst dials, applied markers, dauphine or baton hands, and domed or flat crystals.

Quartz Vintage Watches – Frequently Asked Questions
Are quartz vintage watches reliable for daily wear and how long does the battery last?
Yes—well-kept vintage quartz watches are accurate and low-maintenance for everyday use. Typical battery life is about 1–3 years (features like alarm, light, or chronograph shorten it). We fit a fresh battery before sale and recommend proactive replacement when the display fades, seconds hand jumps irregularly, or the backlight/alarm weakens. Keep vintage pieces away from swimming and showers unless recently pressure-tested.
How do I verify authenticity and originality of a vintage quartz watch?
Match the case-back model code and module number to the dial layout and functions; check crisp dial printing, correct handset, signed crown/caseback, and bracelet end-link codes where applicable. Review sharp photos of the display (even segments on LCD/LED), movement or module, and inside caseback. Buy from reputable sellers who disclose service history and any replaced parts (gaskets, crystals, EL panels).
What are the most common age-related issues—and what does a proper service include?
Typical issues are dim or missing LCD segments, discolored polarizers, weak EL/backlights, sticky pushers from degraded gaskets, and corrosion on battery contacts. Good servicing includes contact cleaning, fresh battery, gasket replacement, pusher service, crystal replacement if needed, and module checks (timekeeping, date/day change, alarm/light, chrono). Parts availability varies by brand/reference, so transparency matters.
How should I choose the right vintage quartz watch for me?
Start with comfort (case diameter, thickness, and lug-to-lug). Pick the display you prefer—retro LED glow or high-contrast LCD—and features you’ll actually use (quick-set date, dual time, alarm, chrono, light). Consider durability (mineral or sapphire crystal, steel vs. resin cases) and originality (matching bracelet, correct caseback/module codes). If you’re new to collecting, value-driven Seiko/Citizen models are great daily wearers; Swiss brands like Omega, Longines, and Tissot offer refined dress options.
