Seiko Tank 'geometry'
Description
This Seiko plays with geometry - so I nicknamed it accordingly in my title. A rectangular case with rounded edges, a gold-tone waffle bezel with softened corners, and a white dial that curves at the top and bottom. Roman numerals follow the dial’s shaped track, bringing all those lines and textures together. Familiar at first glance, but full of details that make you look again.
Exceptionally well preserved and paired with a leather strap, this ref. 9520-5090 combines an elegant profile with the everyday ease of quartz. Not your standard tank—and a watch that deserves a personality to match.
It put a smile on my face, so I bought it to be part of the first Yellow Seconds collection. Sometimes it really is that simple: this is just a cool watch.

Near-perfect condition watch. Only thing I could find is two scratch marks on the front of both bottom lugs, that's all for this watch.
