Seiko revolutionized the watch industry by introducing their quartz watches in 1969, particularly the groundbreaking Seiko Astron. The Cal. 38 series marked a milestone, setting the standard for future quartz movements and propelling Seiko to the forefront of the industry in the 1970s.

When it comes to precision, design, and a distinctive dial, the Quartz Superior Ref.3883-7000 we're excited to offer for sale stands unparalleled. Its enchanting "Morpho" or "Butterfly" dial, gracefully shifting from green to blue, is a visual delight. Introduced in 1974 and priced at a premium of 220,000 JPY (Double the cost of a Grand Seiko 61GS), the Quartz Superior Ref.3883-7000 had two versions, and this example is the JDM variant displaying "Quartz Superior" on the dial's lower section.

But its value becomes apparent as it boasts meticulous attention to detail, with applied indexes for each minute and a day-date indication that seamlessly complements the captivating dial. The 37mm steel case follows Taro Tanaka's Grammar of Design principles, featuring sharp lines and impeccable finishing. The intentionally small and concealed crown adds to the overall aesthetic, while the original bracelet is designed to snugly embrace the wrist, demonstrating Seiko's dedication to excellence in the Superior line.

Acquiring an immaculate example is a rare feat due to its limited production, undoubtedly making it an essential addition to any collection.
