Grand Seiko watches were the finest watches the craftsmen at Seiko’s Suwa workshops could produce.
This grail Seiko Grand Quartz men's capped gold watch, with a unique gold diamond dust textured dial, is cased in a HSS (hardened stainless steel) case, with 80 micron HGP gold capping, there is some light chipping to the gold along the sides of the case on the rear edge, and three small chips near the crown, but not enough to detract from it being a very attractive timepiece. The case retains its original sharp edges and strong lines, apart from the rear edges as mentioned. The photos might suggest the HGP is worn to the stainless steel, thats not the case, it is intact.
According to the Seiko dealers' catalogue in 1979, the retail price of this timepiece was 150,000 yen. That was a lot of money for a watch. It is now considered the premier quartz Seiko among collectors.
With a HGP case (hard gold plated), the external focus goes to the dial. It has a very beautiful diamond dust dial; along with the white snowflake dial this is the most prized, the dial is impeccably furnished with applied straight, beveled, gold baton indices accented with black (onyx?), and slender, elegant gold baton hands, pinstriped with black lacquer. The gold dial logos at 12-o-clock and 6-o-clock are applied. The markers and rehaut are polished.
The sapphire crystal is new. It's furnished with a Bear gold plate link bracelet and folding clasp.
Powered by a twin quartz movement, the 9943 is rated /-10 seconds per year accuracy when serviced. This is exceptional even by todays standard, but in 1978 was phenomenal.
The model and serial no. confirm that this watch was produced in August 1978
