This is a beautiful Silver dial early quartz Seiko QR, aka 38QRW (ref: 3803-7020) from September 1974.The Seiko Quartz QR-3803-7020 is widely recognized for playing a crucial part in the 1970s quartz revolution. This watch, which had a high-precision quartz movement and longer battery life than a mechanical one, signaled a major transition from mechanical to quartz technology. Quartz technology allowed for its exquisite design and thin profile, making it both stylish and useful.

From a historical perspective, the QR-3803-7020 represents Seiko's spirit of innovation and its influence on the watch industry, helping to popularize quartz timepieces. This model's popularity was increased by its sturdy build and date function inclusion.

Not only does the QR-3863-7010 mark a significant technological breakthrough, but it also set the way for the creation of modern quartz timepieces, which guarantee precision and dependability in timing.
