Here we have a 2000s Seiko Credor dress watch, which has a compact 32.5mm steel case. It is the reference 8J81-6A30 which has a polished silver tone ribbed case design, with the sapphire cabochon crown to the right. 
It has a champagne tone dial with applied gold tone baton hour markers and Credor logo. It has elegant hour and minute hands with the bevelled centre and the gold tone shine. The central second hand is thin and clean.

Inside is the Seiko 8J81 movement. It is a thermos-compensated quartz calibre, which is highly accurate to 10 seconds variation a year. 
The watch comes on its original Credor signed leather strap with the correct steel buckle.
It comes with its original inner and outer box, with full paperwork.
Elegant and neatly proportioned, the Credor range is Seiko’s luxury dress watch range. The Credor brand was founded by Seiko in 1974. It comes from the French “crete d’or’ meaning “pinnacle of gold”. Originally the watches were crafted only from precious metals and were fabricated by Seiko’s master craftsmen. The Credor ‘Golden Peak’ logo was put on the dial, replacing the logo in 1980. The logo embodies a mountain, which represents the peak of watchmaking. The three stars to the top of the logo are representative of the three main tenets of Credor. Firstly, to create original designs that take advantage of Japanese sensitivity and aesthetic sense such as delicacy, precision and attention. Secondly, technology through the realisation of precise manufacturing, making full use of cutting-edge and advanced technologies. Lastly, handing down the pinnacle of artisanal craftsmanship and watchmaking skills, cultivated in Seiko’s 130-year history. 
The Credor range is beginning to become more well known worldwide, however they were originally largely sold in the Japanese domestic market.
