Seiko
Quartz Champagne 5E31
1990s · Quartz
Ref. 2621-5380
Warm, glowing and endlessly easy to wear. This Seiko pairs a brushed champagne dial — the colour of light through a glass of aged whisky — with a gold-tone case and a solid stainless steel back stamped 2621-5380, made in Japan. The dial layout is pure 1990s restraint: simple batons, simple hands, perfect legibility. It is the watch you reach for on a Sunday morning and still wear to dinner that night.

DM on InstagramThe story behind it
The 2621 calibre comes from Seiko's long line of slim, two-hand quartz movements developed after the company changed watchmaking forever with the 1969 Astron. By the late 1980s and 1990s these calibres were being produced in enormous numbers and fitted to some of Seiko's most elegant dress models.
The stainless steel case back, stamped 'Bauxite St. Steel' and 'Japan-A', shows how Seiko built even its affordable dress pieces with surgical-grade steel where the watch touches the skin — a detail you rarely find on fashion watches of the same period.
Champagne dials became Seiko's signature dress colour in this era: softer than white, warmer than silver and flattering against every skin tone. They remain one of the most sought-after vintage looks today.
