Credor 7771-5040 “His & Hers”
Credor 7771-5040 “His & Hers”
Features:
Model: Seiko Credor 7771-5040
Year Produced: May 1994
The History: A unique retirement gift from Kansai Power Company in Japan. Initially, I was puzzled as to why a company would present a His & Hers pair to a retiring employee - why not just give a singular watch? So I asked a Japanese friend to help explain the nuance. He told me that, in the '80s and '90s, it wasn’t uncommon for companies to give retirement gifts to both the employee and their spouse. The idea being that the spouse has patiently “shared” their partner with the company for all those years!
The Box and Papers: The original box. The Credor logo inside has been replaced with Kansai’s own, and it’s accompanied by small text in the corner that reads: “Retirement Commemoration from Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc.”
The Style: This 1994 Credor pair are vintage stainless steel, ultra-thin dress watches with applied baton indices and a contrasting XII at the 12 o'clock position. Measuring a little over 4.0mm thick and paired with an integrated woven mesh bracelet, this watch is designed to slip effortlessly under any cuff. It has the hallmark vintage Credor style of a perfect sunburst dial, and onyx crown.
The Condition: Both watches are in unworn, near-mint condition
