Presenting the rare Seiko Twins-Quartz Dolce Special "D", manufactured in August 1980. This elegant model carries the refined two-tone TGHA case with sharp edges and a brushed silver dial that reflects Seiko’s dedication to understated luxury during the early 1980s. As part of the Dolce Special line, this watch is powered by the advanced Twin Quartz movement, engineered for ultra-high accuracy by compensating for temperature variations—something that set Seiko apart from its Swiss rivals at the time.
The slim profile, clean dial layout, and sophisticated gold/silver combination make it a perfect example of Japanese quartz precision paired with timeless design. A true collector’s piece, rarely seen in this configuration.
