Offered for sale in serviced condition, this all-original watch is fitted with a new high-quality brown leather strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSeiko 1974 — First impression - 1104-0150\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compact Seiko captures the restrained elegance of Japanese women’s mechanical watches from the first half of the 1970s. Measuring only 21 mm across and 27 mm from lug to lug, it has authentically small period proportions, while the round dial, polished bezel and straight lugs give the watch a clear and balanced presence. The silver sunburst dial keeps the design bright and refined, with dark-edged applied markers and hands creating enough contrast for easy reading. A new high-quality brown leather strap introduces a warm tone against the cool stainless steel case and gives this small vintage watch a classic contemporary presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeiko - Silver Sunburst Dial\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dial has a fine silver sunburst finish that radiates outward from the center and changes subtly with the direction of the light. Applied baton hour markers are arranged around the perimeter, with a doubled marker at 12 o’clock providing clear orientation. Their darker edges create useful contrast against the pale background without making the dial appear heavy. A delicate printed minute track sits around the outer edge, while the SEIKO signature is positioned cleanly beneath 12. The lower portion of the dial retains its original Japanese movement and dial-code markings. With no date window or subsidiary register, the design remains symmetrical and focused entirely on timekeeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeiko 1104-0150 - Hands\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hour and minute hands use slim dark-edged baton forms that visually complement the applied markers. Their simple geometry works especially well on a dial of this size, maintaining clear separation without overwhelming the compact surface. A fine central seconds hand completes the three-hand display and adds subtle mechanical movement to the otherwise restrained composition. Light age-related character is visible on the handset under close inspection, consistent with the watch’s vintage nature, while overall legibility remains very good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSeiko 1104-0150 - Compact Stainless Steel Case\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case is confirmed as stainless steel and measures 21 mm in diameter, 27 mm from lug to lug and 9 mm between the lugs. Its traditional round body is framed by a polished bezel and straight projecting lugs, creating a clean architectural outline despite the very small dimensions. Light scratches and normal surface marks are visible on the steel, particularly around the bezel and lug areas, but the overall case geometry remains well defined. The compact proportions are characteristic of women’s watches from the period and make this example an authentic representation of early-1970s sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeiko 1104-0150 - Crown\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA relatively prominent ridged crown sits at 3 o’clock, providing the grip needed for regular manual winding and time setting. Its size is practical in relation to the small case and makes daily interaction with the hand-wound movement straightforward. No clearly visible crown signature can be confirmed from the supplied photograph, so no signed-crown claim is made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeiko New Brown Leather Strap\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe watch is fitted with a new high-quality brown leather strap. Its warm medium-brown tone adds contrast to the silver dial and stainless steel case while retaining the traditional dress-watch character of the piece. The narrow 9 mm width matches the original case proportions and keeps the overall profile delicate. The strap is a contemporary replacement component and is therefore described separately from the watch itself, which is confirmed as retaining all original watch components. Its adjustable format makes the watch practical for current everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSeiko 1974 - Japanese Manual Wind Caliber 1104 with Central Seconds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe movement is identified in the supplied product data as Seiko Caliber 1104, a Japanese manual-wind mechanical movement. It powers a straightforward time-only display with central seconds, matching the clean and symmetrical dial visible on this example. No unsupported jewel count, frequency or power-reserve figure is added. The watch is confirmed as serviced and fully operational, making the mechanical specification relevant to present-day ownership rather than historical interest alone.

The combination of a silver sunburst surface, applied baton markers, central seconds and stainless steel case creates a restrained style that remains easy to wear decades later. Its 21 mm diameter is especially representative of period women’s sizing and provides an interesting contrast to later trends toward larger cases.
