Before ceramic and sapphire were used as scratch-resistant materials in watches, Seiko experimented with tungsten carbide in the 1980s in their high-end Dolce range and a limited Grand Seiko SBGT009 in 1988.

Tungsten carbide has a hardness of 2600 Hv, which is harder than sapphire and only second to diamond.

The difficulties of engineering and machining requirements are why no tungsten carbide watches are produced today, making the Seiko Dolce tungsten carbide series a rare and collectible watch.

This Seiko Dolce tank is powered by the 8N41 movement, which features a hacking system and has an accuracy of +/- 1 second a day or +/- 20 seconds a year. It was an accurate quartz movement at the time and still is.

With a beautiful gold-brushed, painted-like dial in great condition, it is a charming dress watch at the size of 28.5 x 37 mm. Thanks to the tungsten carbide case and the use of sapphire crystal, the watch is still presented in great condition of original head and buckle, with no obvious signs of wear.

With proper care, you can be assured that the case will remain almost scratch and wear-free for the foreseeable future.
