The Vince Files

This is my first in a series of posts on my humble watch collection.

This one was what I spent my first paycheque on when I first started working. I was only 23 years old and still in college doing a co-op work term. So I was looking for something that looked “cool”. Back then, I considered watches with sub-dial complications cool. So I chose a Seiko Chronograph. It runs on a battery-powered 7T32 movement with subdials for minutes, seconds and an alarm (which could also be used a second timezone). It also includes a date window. The chronograph functions are straightforward with the usual start/stop/reset/split functionality

It’s all scratched up because it was my daily worn watch. I did everything with this watch including swimming. The crystal isn’t very scratch-resistant and the minute sub-dial doesn’t quite return to the top. I still wear this watch once in a while.
