Many Seiko watches from the 1960’s through the mid-1980’s have rightly gone down as design classics, building a considerable following amongst watch collectors.  
Conversely, some truly gorgeous watches from the same era produced by the same company have quietly slipped under the radar for the simple reason they were designed for the typically slighter wrist, ie: women - like this rather dainty early 1980s Seiko 1E20-3B90 women’s watch, on its original bracelet and with original Seiko 1E20 instructions manual.
 
And it’s a shame, because many of these smaller watches feature exquisite details – Seiko found an original, great looking formula for its watches, and stuck with it.

Seiko introduced the 1E20 line in 1983, and made them for at least a decade, and it's one of its many vintage womens watches lost to the ages.  Seiko discovered the secret to manufacturing mass-produced stylish and affordable watches.  And it made a lot of them...
 
This quite petite Seiko 1E20 comes on its original stainless-steel bracelet, and with original 1E20 Seiko instructions manual, springbar tool, and rugged travel case.
