​Hi everyone! Just wanted to share this 1976 JDM piece: a Seiko Actus (ref. 6306-8020) featuring a 21-jewel automatic movement with hacking.

​Back in the 1970s in Japan, it was quite popular for watchmakers and small workshops to create these artistic dials to celebrate local tradition. This Ukiyo-e style dial (inspired by master Shinsui Itō's famous portraits of women) depicts a geisha and pairs perfectly with the Kanji day wheel and the burgundy strap.

​A wearable piece of art at 37mm. What do you guys think?
