Then the light catches the very fine lines of its silver dial, the dark centres of the hour markers give them extra definition, and the little emblem above six reminds you that this was no ordinary quartz watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4842-8110 comes from an interesting moment in Seiko’s history. In the mid-1970s, quartz accuracy was still something to aspire to, not merely something convenient to buy. Grand Quartz carried that ambition into everyday wear with careful case design, beautifully considered dials and an electronic movement worthy of the name. This reference makes that whole idea look remarkably natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA BIT OF TRIVIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe calibre 4842 has a wonderfully thoughtful approach to setting the time. On a working movement, pulling the crown out for setting makes the seconds hand advance to the next ten-second position and stop there. It is a small piece of engineering that makes synchronising the watch to a time signal easier, and a reminder of how seriously Seiko took precision when Grand Quartz was new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's something rather lovely about owning a watch that represents a moment when the future of watchmaking was being rewritten. Today, quartz is something we barely think about, but this Grand Quartz comes from a time when it was genuinely exciting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd perhaps that's part of its charm. You can enjoy wearing it simply because it's a handsome, understated vintage watch. But there's also the quiet satisfaction of knowing you've chosen something a little different, with a story that most people around you won't know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not a watch that needs to impress anybody else. It's one to enjoy for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63288318230915,"sku":"SGQ75081WO","price":325.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/Seiko-Grand-Quartz-4842-8110-front-_4_3cbc1cf8-3b32-44ae-9023-8e763295a3c3.jpg?v=1794568427","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-seiko-grand-quartz-4842-8110-wristwatch-1977-serviced-uk-warranty-1","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
