Will it fit? How to measure your wrist

Wrap a strip of paper or a soft tape snugly around your wrist, just below the wrist bone. Mark where it overlaps, then measure that length in centimetres.

If your wrist is the same as or smaller than the Max Wrist size above, it should fit. A watchmaker can usually shorten a vintage bracelet, but extra links are rarely available.

The StoryAbout This Piece

The watch meets the wrist with the rhythmic, rope-like texture of a twisted Aurum band. It feels remarkably like a delicate antique bracelet, one that gathers the warmth of the skin and reflects it through the two deep crimson stones flanking the dial. There is a soulful contrast between the golden luster of the metal and the sharp, wine-colored sparks of the rubies, making the act of checking the time feel like a private, jewelry-led ritual.

Behind this ornate exterior is the precision of the Seiko 1E20 caliber, a Japan Quartz movement from an era when the Suwa factory sought to shrink high-fidelity timekeeping into the most feminine of forms. This late 1980s piece represents a transition where horology became an accessory to evening wear, utilizing a jewelry-clasp and a safety chain to ensure it remains a secure companion. The dial is finished in a soft champagne sunray, allowing the minimalist hands to keep rhythm without interrupting the atmospheric glow of the golden case.
