That`s the 7t27-6a2l!Whatever it means...
It`s one of my favourite watches and it`s quite rare.It has movement developed for RAF,but the second one(no jewels),which is pitty,`cos previous (15 jewels) is consider as the one of the best quartz movements ever.But,this one works wonderful,too!

Jeff, your pics have gone MIA... (or is it just me?) Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing your collection.

But you can also get vintage and new high end Seiko's, which, until the advent of the Internet, were relatively unknown outside of Japan. And a few other far east Asian countries (Taiwan, HK, Singapore ETC.) "King Seiko","Grand Seiko", and "Seiko Credor", you will find in these watches that, movement and case finish wise, easily compete with the best of mass produced swiss watches, i.e. Omega, Rolex, etc. As for style… well, that is in the eye of the beholder. At best they can be considered very conservative. But it really depends which movements,and watches you are comparing to. OWhat this all boils down to is: Seiko makes some truly outstanding products, and some mediocre ones, just like many other companies. If you want to buy one, you should, by all means do it. Because their bang-for-the-pound-factor is bloody amazing, at both ends of the spectrum.



Check out the regulator adjuster on this one! And check the shock protection on the non-balance jewels. That's real quality!and there own movement test, to a much higher spec than the Swiss COSC






selected Grand Seiko quartz model

Note 1: Seiko re-issued a limited edition of the "Astron" in 2000-1 that used a special version of the 9F movement that was rated to ± 2 seconds per year.
Note 2: The 9F movement is reportedly designed to run fifty years before it needs servicing.
Note 3: Other Grand Seiko quartz models use the 8J movement. Even less is know about this movement.
Source of information: Japanese retail sites
hmm i also found some shots of the GS movement here in the Omega Seamaster "Aqua Terra" (AT) and Grand Seiko (GS) SBGR023 compared Click Here for the Link 1 and Here for the Link 2

I had no idea the company was that old. My late 60's World Time still runs great.

How about Seiko Brightz World Time Solar Atomic Watch (SAGZ007)?
New solar technology, almost 100% accurate, lightweight due to Titanium, but how durable can one expect it to be?

This one lived a hard life as a young paratroopers every day watch. Jumping in the middle of the night dozens of times. It never missed a beat and although it is a quartz it's a hell of a watch and one of many Seiko's that went above an beyond.
