I got this somewhat rare and unusual model from Seiko. It is both a Laurel and a World Time model. It is a quartz that also has a lot of features including alarm and chronograph.

Dial showing 2 sub registers - one for the watch settings and another for 24-hour reading. There is also the date display.
|
 |
Side view showing the buttons and crown as well as the lug assembly for the straps. This one came with a customized strap instead of the original one but the assembly makes it easier for replacements later.
|
 |
Close up of the dial from an angle to show the texture of the surface. I'm not sure if this qualifies as linen but it certainly is some type of fabric design.
|
 |
The other side view showing a couple more buttons. These are usually for the alarm settings and should be similar to other alarm chronographs I have.
|
 |
Signed crown, and buttons

Close up of the case back - I had to take the photo from a certain angle and lighting in order to capture the worn out etching that probably was caused by an over-polishing of the metal. The etching says 'Laurel' in the middle. Under it is 'Seiko'. Then it states 'water resistant 10 bar'. The 4th line states the model '6M15 - 7040'. Finally there is the serial number at the bottom after some space from the model number. The serial number indicates the watch to have been made in October 1994, making this a 26-year old watch (turning 27 later this year).

Wrist shot the first time I wore the watch

This was more an impulse buy for me so this won't likely be a keeper despite its features. I am posting this on the last day of February as it might be heading to another owner on the first week of March 2021.
[Note: The watch is now with another as I decided to unload it. It was a nice one but couldn't get any wrist time.]
