For sale is this vintage Seiko "09QZ" (0922-8010), made in Japan in January 1975. The "QZ" range were some of the first early quartz models made only for the Japanese domestic market to come from Seiko along with the "QR" and "QT" ranges when quartz was all the rage being the new technology in horology. "QZ" models were even priced higher than the Grand Seiko's of the same time and being sold for the equivalent of roughly $800 today, adjusted for inflation. This was all before quartz became affordable so they were all made to very high standards. This example, reference number QMT020, has real heft and does not feel cheap at all. The design is clean and simple yet executed well. It's part of a long line of watches that follow the same design cues (specifically the case shape, hidden lugs and brushed centre surface) developed by Seiko for decades now. The dial is a beautiful silvery white sunburst with very thin stick baton indices that are high-polish on the sides but with a black top surface. The hands follow suit with their thinness and being high-polish with a black stripe down the centre. The Seiko logo and single crystal quartz symbol are applied. The minute track, and print are in black. The date is neatly framed and I particularly like the microgramma-style font. The Suwa swirl symbol under the single crystal quartz symbol and on the case back indicates the watch was designed and manufactured in the Suwa factory during its fierce rivalry with the Daini factory. As mentioned earlier, the case design is one that has seen various iterations throughout the decades but remains a classic Seiko case profile with its hidden lugs and effective brushed centre and polished sides. The brushed centre lines up satisfyingly with the bracelet.  The calibre 0922 movement is an over-engineered movement that is far more beautiful than the vast majority of quartz movements today. The watch comes with the original Seiko bracelet; a high-quality bracelet with solid links that can accommodate a wrist of up to roughly 19cm. In the 5th/6th pictures where the bracelet is kinked, please note that there is no problem with it, just that the clasp is pushing it into that angle due to the watch stand and that link articulates the same as the rest of the links. The watch is in great condition for its age being 50 years old! General wear is expected. Dimensions are: 35.7mm x 40.1mm x 11.1mm  Lug Width 18mm Bought in Japan.
