Seiko 17J grade 4205A automatic (self-winding) ladies' wrist watch with quickset date, case #2N0013 4205-0180, distinctive wine-red metal dial with a finish that presents an ombre light-to-dark pattern when it catches the light, raised gold markers with luminous ball markers at the outer end and a gold border around the date aperture at 3 o'clock, date display has black numbers on a white background, dial has a few small specks of discoloration and a small scratch near the 9 o'clock marker, slender gold steel baton style hands with pointed tips and luminous inserts and a gold sweep second hand, all the luminous elements appear to be retaining and emitting light, however they are faint.

Heavy smooth polish stainless steel (SS) cushion-shaped water-resistant case with a rounded bezel supporting a slightly domed plastic crystal, thick faceted frame that finishes to create the short extended lugs and a recessed crown, case is showing normal light wear with some general scuffing but no notable scratches or damage, measures approx. 25mm wide x 30mm lug to lug x 11mm thick (crystal included), matching SS bracelet-style Seiko band with tapering "H" shaped segments connected together with center rectangular links to form the entire length of the band, brushed finish clasp with a raised Seiko marking, band is showing moderate wear with some heavier scuffing on the buckle, additionally the two center links on either side of the watch are a little distorted, we believe the band was twisted at some point and while it is now in alignment with the watch, those links still have a bit of wave to them, watch has a wearable length of approx. 145mm and could be shortened approx. 15mm if desired. A very handsome mechanical movement triple signed Seiko with a distinctive look from the 1980s in excellent+ overall condition!
