The Advan was Seiko's fashion-forward line of the early 1970s — designed to compete on style as much as function. The asymmetrical case is polished and brushed in contrasting surfaces, and the multi-tone green dial is genuinely rare. The gold-plated bezel adds a dressy touch that sits in interesting tension with the sportier case shape — very much a product of its decade.
