[WTS] The world's first ever 1/100th of a second Quartz Chronograph. NOS condition. Seiko 7T59-F010 , c. 1992
**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 steam punk looking "Masterpiece MCMXCII". 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/Cz8wz3aqs87/](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz8wz3aqs87/) 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 6347-5000 **Year**: 1992 **Features**: * *GMT*. * *1/100th of a second Chronograph* * *Rotating bezel with count-down bezel* * *Date and Date with quickset* * *Dual Screw-down crowns, with a unique crown guard* * *”Hidden” screw in lug bars – easily removed by fingers making* * *Nine Hands* * *Movement*. Seiko 7T59 Quartz * *The Strap***.** All three original straps are present and in great condition. As I mentioned earlier, all three can be changed on the fly just using your fingers, thanks to the ingenious hidden finger screw-in bars. **Condition:** The watch and straps are all unworn deadstock. Unfortunately, the box has a tiny bit of wear around the latch, as it was not closed correctly at some point in the last 30 years, but is 98% perfect. Manual/guarantees/papers are all pristine. **Scope**: Original limited edition wooden Masterpiece Box, even with the original golden cardboard outer box. All three original straps are present, and it comes with full papers. **Case Width**: 45mm **Lug to lug:** 49mm **Case Thickness**: 12mm (with the steering wheel) **Price**: Offered at **$560** plus shipping (sent from London, UK; costs $10-$40 depending on where you are in the world).
