 The History
In 1959 Seiko introduced the Crown, a watch in the base of the Marvel but with greater precision. The Crown was found to be superior to the Marvel in the watch competition.
In 1960 Seiko applied all of its parts precision techniques, assembly techniques, and adjustment techniques to the creation of a watch in the base of the Crown, but with even greater precision. The First-Generation Grand Seiko was born.
The Grand Seiko set a new standard stricter than the world’s highest accuracy standard (international chronometer testing standard (B.O.): excellent) of the time. The Grand Seiko became the world’s finest watch both in reality and in name.

Crown Special has the same movement found in 1st Grand Seiko ,less decorated and slightly detuned ,to offer more affordable alternative to The Grand.

Dial is clean and nearly flawless considering its 60 year old, non waterproof watch. 

Case is in pretty good condition, with some small nicks and scratches on lugs only and no pitting on the back. Caseback is beautiful. 

Original, "S" signed crown is also serviced with new rubber o-ring inside. 

New acrylic crystal. 

New Seiko cowhide leather strap 

Movement has been disassembled, cleaned, lubricated and regulated.

It's in great condition and runs strong with very good accuracy for a vintage mechanical.
