This Seiko DX (Ref. 6106-5400) captures the brand’s push toward bold, modernist design during the early 1970s. The distinctive cushion case with a polished bezel surrounds a deep black dial, highlighted by silver-tone baton indices and a framed day-date window at 3 o'clock. The DX line was known for reliability, and this model features the 6106 automatic movement—hacking and hand-winding excluded by design for simplicity.
The dial is framed by a sharply faceted crystal and fitted with a new black croc-grain leather strap with red contrast stitching, complementing the angularity of the case.
