EmailWHY WE LOVE IT? Because it is a highly collectible watch from a time when a) Seiko & Citizen were both racing towards the dominant position in Japan -- and they were at par back then, if not Citizen was slightly in front -- and b) they were learning and catching-up to the Swiss watch-industry and c) Seiko started what in 1974 became Credor. An important artefact of horological-history and in a top-condition -- I doubt there are any better examples around.
The Goldfeather is today available as a Credor re-issue and with a reason, as it was a very important watch in the history of Seiko: the worlds thinnest 3-hands-watch in 1960 and a true horological innovation from Far East. And Seiko puts it like that:
"With its lightness and elegance, the goal was to create the pinnacle of dress watches. GoldFeather"
The Goldfeather was also the most expensive top-model in the 1960-Seiko offerings. Obviously it is not only an important and collectible watch but also a rare one and especially in 18K -- the Goldfeather was made in steel and 14K-goldplated (priced JPY12'000 in 1960) and (like this one) in solid 18K. In descending quantities, of course.
This immaculate example was serviced and you can expect it to run precise and reliable.
