Seiko 9726-8000 Twin Quartz Trans Zone Synchroniser

Welcome to the Seiko 9726-8000 Twin Quartz Trans Zone Synchroniser, dated July 1981. Just back from a service. 

Designed for travellers, one can pull out the crown to the no.2, setting and ‘jump’ the hour hand rather than have to wind the minutes hand. 

Having never seen a piece for sale online, let alone a two-tone version in such good condition, this amazing relic of the 80s serves as a time capsule for the period, characterised by big hair, extreme fashion, materialism, gold lamé and the Cold War.  

80s vintage is great and the quartz watches super well made. Should get more love.
