The watch “Dolce” is Italian for “sweet”, and the name fits. This Seiko Dolce was produced in August 1991 and has remained unworn since. The case, crystal, and dial are in mint condition. The caseback shows light marks from a past opening.
The watch features a sapphire crystal and a crown set with black onyx. The gold dial has a fine granular texture with a Roman numeral at 12. While sold as a men’s model, it wears smaller by modern standards with a 33 mm case. The simple no-date layout and slim profile make it a classic dress watch that slips easily under a cuff.
The watch has been fitted with a new Seiko leather strap with crocodile print.
Details The Japanese engraving on the caseback commemorates a memorial service for aquatic animals. In Japan, companies involved in fishing, seafood processing, or related industries sometimes hold Buddhist-style ceremonies to show respect for the animals used in their work.
The engraving also mentions the company 日本豚皮革株式会社 (Japan Pigskin Leather Co., Ltd.). The watch was likely commissioned by the company as a commemorative gift connected to the ceremony. Corporate gifts such as watches were commonly presented to employees or participants at company events. The engraving places this Seiko within a specific historical context and reflects a distinct aspect of Japanese corporate culture.
