Produced in November 1989, this reference combines a sharp geometric case design with a warm two-tone finish and gold dial.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example remains in exceptionally clean, unpolished condition with strong brushing throughout the case and bracelet. The gold-tone plating on the bezel, crowns and centre links is unusually well preserved, which is rarely seen on these models today. The bracelet is near full-length and the watch wears comfortably thanks to its compact proportions and integrated design. The crystal shows a few light scratches near the upper left area, while the bracelet has minor signs of wear consistent with careful use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePowered by Seiko’s 7T34 quartz chronograph movement, the watch features a 1\/5 second chronograph, alarm function and date display. The chronograph functions correctly with start, stop and instant reset operation. The subdials display chronograph minutes, running seconds, date indication and alarm setting. The alarm function is not audible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Seiko 7T34 is one of the brand’s most advanced quartz chronograph calibres from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Built in Japan, the movement combines a 1\/5 second chronograph, alarm function, date display and tachymeter capability in a compact multi-register layout that became characteristic of Seiko’s sports chronographs of the era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike simpler quartz chronographs, the 7T34 uses independently driven stepper motors for its various functions, allowing precise operation and low battery consumption. The chronograph can measure up to 12 hours while maintaining standard timekeeping accuracy of approximately ±15 seconds per month.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe movement is also notable for its mechanical feel. The pushers have a firm, positive action, and the central chronograph seconds hand resets instantly and precisely to zero, something Seiko engineered particularly well during this period. It represents a period when Seiko heavily invested in technically ambitious analogue quartz movements before the market shifted toward simpler and cheaper modules.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio Tokei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54185158279514,"sku":"S7T34-89-001","price":595.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/1532\/2714\/files\/IMG_8719-2.jpg?v=1779395420","url":"https:\/\/studiotokei.com\/products\/seiko-quartz-chronograph-7t34-7a10","provider":"Studio Tokei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
