[WTS] The world's first ever 1/100th of a second Quartz Chronograph. NOS condition. Seiko 7T59-6A30, c. 1992
You might have seen my previous 7T59 Masterpiece II three days ago. Well, this is the even quirkier looking 7T59 Masterpiece III. Sadly there are no more Masterpieces, as Seiko decided the world could only handle two. I’ve included the full details below for those that weren’t lucky enough to see the Masterpiece II post. **It is said that Seiko only manufactured the 7T59 movement to prove it could be done.** 1/100th of a second chronograph with date and date and an independently adjustable 24 hour GMT hand, under a sapphire crystal, with two screw-down crowns, and a rotating count-down bezel! Is there anything else this watch could have? Much like the Concord, perhaps the world wasn't ready for such a movement and Seiko shuttered its production in 1993 after two short years. However, in those two short years Seiko produced almost a dozen different variants. The one I present to you today is one of the rarest iterations; the nautiloid looking "Masterpiece MCMXCIII". Limited to 2500 pieces, and costing $2200 on release, this bizarre watch definitely got people talking. Love it or hate it, you have to respect its bravery for simply existing. As I mentioned earlier, the 24 hour hand is independently controllable, giving it GMT functionality. The top sub-dial measures to 1/100th of a second - I can only describe the way it looks as "broken": [https://www.instagram.com/p/C0Bt958K\_OU/](https://www.instagram.com/p/C0Bt958K_OU/) This would be impossible to verify, but according to multiple sources this remains as the only 12 hour 1/100th second quartz chronographs with Day/Date and GMT functionality ever made by any manufacturer. **Model**: Seiko 7T59-6A30 **Year**: 1992 **Features**: * *GMT*. * *1/100th of a second Chronograph* * *Rotating bezel with Tachymeter* * *Date and Date with quickset* * *Enlarged chrono pushers* * *Dual crowns* * *Push-in quick release lugs – allows you to switch between the three bracelets immediately* * *Nine Hands* * *Movement*.
