[Timestamp](https://postimg.cc/F1SjR4W3) A rare and refined **Seiko Grand Quartz from September 1976**, reference **4843-8041**, housing the high-precision **Cal. 4843** quartz movement—part of the elite 48xx series produced for only 4 years. These movements were exceptionally well-engineered and short-lived, making them highly collectible today. This model channels the same precision, elegance, and finishing as its counterparts from the era. The white sunburst dial plays beautifully with light, shifting tones subtly as the watch moves. It’s paired with black-topped, silver-sided tapered indices that glint at every angle, and stick hands, and a sweeping silver seconds hand. A Kanji + English day-date complication adds JDM character, while the signed crown is neatly tucked away into the case side. The angular stainless steel case embodies Seiko’s “Grammar of Design,” with sharp chamfers and a slim, elegant stance on the wrist. The original stainless steel bracelet features a **Grand Quartz-signed clasp**, adding to its authenticity and collectibility. I’ve captured a few shots in sunlight to show how alive this piece looks in motion — it truly shines under natural light. Whether you're into vintage quartz, JDM rarities, or just want a daily piece with high-end finishing and character — this ticks all the boxes. 🕰️ **History** The 4843 is a robust and well-regarded movement—your watchmaker will love it. The 48xx series was only in production for four years, and the 4843-8041 variant, introduced later in 1975, had a limited production run until 1977. Earlier in 1975, only three Grand Quartz references (8000/8010/8020) existed, making this later model rarer. The 8041 stood out with its thicker steel bracelet (unique to 1976–77), broad stance, and distinct case design—larger even than the 8040, and bolder than the later, daintier 8110. It remained one of the last expressions of Seiko's single-quartz era before the twin-quartz 9943 replaced it in 1978. With modern wrist presence and a Tanaka-influenced silhouette, the 4843-8041 holds its own as one of the most compelling quartz icons of the time. 🔹 **Dimensions:**  • Case Diameter: 36mm (without crown)  • Lug-to-Lug: 42mm  • Lug Width: 18mm  • Thickness: 10mm 💵 **Asking $369 shipped via UPS worldwide**  Payment via **PayPal F&F** or G&S (+4.5% international fee) DM for extra photos, custom timestamp, or to bundle with another piece (special discount applies ;)).
