Seiko Tank | August 1985, hinged lugs, incredibly clean

I've been on a hinged lug kick recently, so when this watch became available I had to jump on it.  I've seen these pop up a few times, but never this clean.  

This watch is a unique riff on a Tank design.  The case is slightly pillowed - it's shaped to hug the wrist and has some soft curve to the flanks.  The case is polished and shows very minor wear - some rubs and small scratches here and there.

What really sets this design apart are the lugs.  They're massive and articulated, which means that they have an additional point to pivot, making the watch conform to the wearer's wrist more closely.  They also make the watch wear larger than the specs suggest.

The dial is vertically brushed gold, and features has some cool details.  First, the numerals are printed but the font is almost gothic.  It's a neat departure from typical typefaces that you see on watches like this.  Another atypical feature are the polished triangles in the corners.  This is a detail that I haven't seen on many other watches.

tl;dr - this a tank-style watch with details, both obvious and not, that set it apart from many other similar models on the market.  

Comes on a NOS Kreisler lizard and calf strap that will fit a wrist up to about 7".
