Seiko Masterpiece Limited Edition 7T59-F010. This piece is number 982 of a series limited to 2,500 pieces worldwide. The most important feature of this watch is undoubtedly the 7T59 caliber. The 7T59 caliber had a short but glorious life from 1991 to 1993 and is still one of the most complex movements produced for the consumer segment in the analog watch world. There is a view that Seiko's 7A28/38 is a superior movement, but let's not forget that the 7T59 is the only analog 1/100 second chronograph to offer day + date + GMT functions to date. Nothing in Seiko's current lineup, which includes Coutura, Sportura, Premier and even Velatura, offers this much. We can't find a watch like this in any other brand's catalog.
Seiko Japan said that they produced the 7T59 to prove to the world that it can be done. The reason they gave for the discontinuation was that digital watches had become fashionable and could offer the same functionality at a much lower cost. It is true that the 7T59 series was expensive in its day, with typical street prices ranging from $750 to $1000 and up depending on the model. If we calculate the cost of purchasing the 7T59 in fixed US dollars for 20 years, the Masterpiece’s starting price of $2200 in 1992 would be equivalent to $3500 in 2012. The 7T59s are also associated with the 1992 Olympics. Seiko was the official timekeeper for the Barcelona Summer Games and ran an advertising campaign to showcase the need for accuracy in the Olympic events as well as its 1/100th second chronograph technology. The product you are reviewing was manufactured in 1992.

PROFESSIONAL FULL SERVICE. Since the mechanism is completely disassembled, each part is cleaned, oiled and its sensitivity is adjusted, your watch will work without any negative surprises. (It does not require maintenance for 5 years unless exposed to adverse conditions.)
Product Status: Tested, all functions work.
