Yes I agree that the pure dress watch would likely be defined by no added complication. My personal tastes ( which have been molded by my just recent exposure to this hobby) tend to put watches that have up to day ( /date), optional water resistance, buto are not chronos, in my "dress watch" category. Historically it seems that the early sixties were the time when companies were touting their shock resistance therefore more diashock, parashock on the dial? The Parashock design was introduced in 1956 so was still relatively new in the early 1960s - I don't think having the logo on the dial would stop it being a dress watch, but Para Water, especially with a depth rating would.

I saw the 6619 mentioned earlier, which is a personal favorite, but the less-known/used 6618 would be date only. they aren't common, but they're out there.
As others have pulled citizen into the discussion, I'll also mention that Orient made some absolutely stunning watches during this period.

Feb 68 7625-1993 7005-2000 cant remember it's date off hand. 1966 7625-8001 1965 7625-1990 All nice watches to wear. Very comfy on your wrist all the dressy Seiko's. I'm going to sell off most of my chronos and concentrate on the early dress watches at some point soon.
