Up for sale, Grand Seiko Quartz Patina dial, produced in May 1978. In 1978 caliber 994x, was first produced. With an accuracy rated at 10spy - the same as today’s Grand Seiko cal. 9F - the 9940 (and the 9256) is shown for the first time in the JDM 1979 V2 catalogue, on page 6 priced at 75,000 Yen. In todays money that would be some 940 dollars. It is probable that the entire production of the Grand Quartz line just spans a decade, 1975-1985. For caliber 9940/9943 however just 6 years. All of these watches have the strong lines and angles typical of the Seiko productions of the Seventies.
