Hey Watchexchange! Today I am offering a rare and refined **Seiko Grand Quartz from December 1976**. This isn't your average vintage Seiko; it houses the elite **Cal. 4842 quartz movement**, a high-precision engine produced for only four years. These movements were engineered to the highest standards of the era, rivaling the finishing of mechanical Grand Seikos. The **White Sunburst Dial** is a masterclass in subtlety, shifting tones elegantly as it catches the light. It is accented by unique **black-topped, silver-sided tapered indices** that provide incredible legibility and "glint" from every angle. The dial is finished with classic stick hands and a crisp **date-only window**, maintaining a symmetrical and sophisticated JDM look. One of the standout features of this high-precision movement is the **hacking seconds** function—whenever you pull the crown to set the time or date, the **second hand automatically stops**. This allows you to synchronize the time to the exact second, a true testament to its "Grand" lineage. The stainless steel case is a pure expression of Seiko’s **“Grammar of Design.”** It features sharp, angular chamfers and a bold stance that wears much larger than its dimensions suggest. This specific **8041 case** is rarer than the earlier 8000 series, known for being broader and more substantial on the wrist. I’ve paired this piece with a **premium black leather strap** with quick-release spring bars. # 🔹 Key Dimensions * **Case Diameter:** 36mm (Wears larger due to angular lugs) * **Lug-to-Lug:** 42mm * **Thickness:** 10mm * **Lug Width:** 18mm # 🕰️ A Piece of History The 4842-8041 was one of the last great expressions of Seiko's single-quartz era before the transition to twin-quartz in 1978. Because it was only produced between 1976 and 1977, it remains a highly collectible "transitional" icon with modern wrist presence. 💵 **Price: $320 shipped!** 📦 **Payment: PayPal F&F** or G&S (**+4.5% fee by buyer**) or **bank wire (US banks accepted)** 📩 **DM me for more photos or a custom timestamp.** If you want a piece that represents the pinnacle of 1970s precision and design, **The White Diamond** is the one.
