Vintage 1967 Seiko Chorus 2107-3140 Ladies Manual 17J Silver Date Tank Watch Box

About this watch

A slim, elegant 1960s ladies' dress watch from Seiko's Chorus line. The rectangular tank-style case frames a silver dial signed "Seiko Chorus" under the period Seiko shield emblem, with applied faceted baton markers, a double baton at 12, "DIASHOCK 17 JEWELS" and a framed date window at 6 o'clock. It is powered by Seiko's hand-wound calibre 2107 with date. The serial number 7N00704 dates it to November 1967. It comes in a Seiko presentation box from the dealer Al-Hussaini & Co.

Brand heritage

Seiko traces its roots to 1881, when Kintaro Hattori opened a watch and clock shop in Tokyo, and it made Japan's first wristwatch in 1913. In the 1960s the Chorus line was one of Seiko's ladies' mechanical collections, and the Diashock shock-protection system printed on this dial was Seiko's own design.
