This watch is Seikos Flagship watch from 1976 costing more than a brand new chevy corvette that year. This is a seiko superior watch sold in the Japan market. This watch is the more expensive gold tone of watch and in near mint condition. Runs flawlessly and tells better time than a brand new Rolex.  The beige ish white linen Dial is amazing.






The Superior line, with multiple calibers later on, launched in 1974 with the 3883 caliber. Eventually it featured a 9980 movement with an accuracy rating of 5 seconds per year, among the best Seiko has ever produced. The 4883 Superior showen below however is no slouch either - of course a 2500 euro watch really had to bring it! An accuracy rating of 1 second per month was achieved in this 1976 edition...


Seiko recently came clean with accuracy ratings for most of its high accuracy quartzes. For decades it actually had been a secret, as most were actually much more accurate than advertised. It fits Seiko's advertising philosophy to be modest while delivering the ultimate watch.
