Just fully serviced, This Grand Quartz from Seiko has the most desirable snowflake dial.  Model reference 4843-8050 or QNK050.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the case back we can accurately date this watch to being made in October 1976.

CONDITION

The snowflake dial has always been worth a premium – they were 25% more money when new than the next model which was identical in every other way (as we show with the picture from the catalogue).  This example has lost the bracelet over the years, but instead has a Seiko Credor lined leather alligator effect strap.  It is because of this, plus some slight staining to the dial, that this is the cheapest Snowflake we have offered.  Mechanically it is perfect, having just had a full service.  The 4843A movement jumps to the next ten second marker when being set, as it should, for very precise timekeeping – these were accurate to +/- 5 seconds a month, or about thirty times better than COSC demands.  The crown features the same crystal logo that is on the dial, and the case is as good as you could hope to find.  Both the day and date can be quickset, and the day is in either English or Kanji.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
