Model: Seiko SQ100 “Monaco” Salmon Dial Chronograph Alarm (7T32)
Overview: A mid-1990s Seiko SQ100 chronograph alarm reference, powered by the 7T32 quartz movement. Known for its salmon dial execution and compact integrated chronograph layout, this model combines sporty functionality with a more refined, dress-leaning aesthetic.
History: Released in a very short production window during the mid-1990s, the SQ100 “Monaco” series is rarely encountered on the market today. Built during Seiko’s era of highly varied quartz experimentation, it blends chronograph utility with alarm functionality in a compact case design, making it an uncommon and overlooked reference within the broader Seiko catalog.
