This is very cool! I can imagine people seeing quartz watches for the first time with this futuristic blinking light. I'd want one pretty badly... Screw automatics 😱
Very nice, got one of these too. My circuit is slightly different with a blue substrate and smaller quartz tube. I believe it could have been a replacement circuit from later on in the 70s when it was in for a service at Seiko.

What a beaut!!! Does the blinking light indicate anything, or just for being fancy AF?

It blinks every second. It’s meant as a battery indicator. It fades over time
Beautiful watch but if there is a blinking light anywhere in my peripheral vision I would go crazy!
This is completely unique. The pillars as hour markers, wow, simply wow! 💯
I’ve seen them before. I wish I could afford one very much my kind of thing.

Yes the 70s had very bold designs. And Quartz was the thing back then. much more expensive than automatic watches and built to last
i will post a lot more soon. follow me

it’s not bright. you see it only directly from the top. in dark room it’s more visible.
That's beautiful💯. Love those indices. The early quartz models as so under appreciated.
That pcb, that dial, all is just wonderful 70s bold and looking cool as hell!
WOW 🤯 You dont have to put on the red light ...
you know the bomb timers in movies that always blink red? it is like that!
btw Citizen also had models with a blinking red light in it‘s Crystron range. But they blinked only once per minute
