1969 saw the launch of both the mechanical Grand Seiko VFA’s and the world’s first quartz wristwatch, the Seiko Quartz Astron. Whilst the start of the “quartz revolution” can be dated precisely to December 25th 1969, it would actually be quite some time before quartz timepieces became ubiquitous.
Really nice watch. i like it. Sooner or later I may have to pull the trigger myself 😉
