Collector’s Note:
The Seiko 4S caliber family was introduced in the early 1990s, derived from the highly regarded high-end caliber 52 stream of the 1970s. The 4S24 manual-wind variant is particularly scarce, as it was only deployed in a select few premium lines during this period (such as the historical Seiko Laurel re-issues). This model offers incredible value and prestige for enthusiasts looking for a piece of Seiko’s high-frequency mechanical renaissance history.
Note: crown is aftermarket
