Nice catch!
The 4s76 movt is the better decorated variant of the 4s36 found in the SARN001. It's not the only time that Seiko did this. The same relationship is also found between the handwinding only 4s29 and 4s79 movements, etc.
Curiously enough, the accuracy spec is the same for both 4s76 and 4s36. This is the only time it happened as far as I know.
Also, for some reason, only the 4s family has so many different variants built on the base 4s15 caliber,beating the current 8L and 9S families hands down!
Enjoy the watch in good health!

Congratulations! it is true that most of us do not "Need" another watch. I hope..
You will not be offended as I prefer the Credor with the moon phase and power reserve.
No, not bothered at all
What a problem we would have it we didn't have differing preferences for watches. We'd never be able to get rid of the ones we are tired of ... or get watches from people who have tired of them! I like the moon too, it's one of the first good Japanese wat...

your latest acquisition! Good complications but the dial does look a wee bit congested with too many lines....i mean hands! best henry

Accuracy spec isn't that great but it's running well
after two days not messing with it but just wearing it around, I'm just one second fast against the government clock. Cazalea ...
My 4S....
4S series is yet another very good movement of SEIKO.... 4S79 is the time+power reserve version. But also had Chronometer version as well. Created just before they re-launched Grand Seiko in 1998. Congrats Mike, for your new watch! Best, Ken ...
that's a
lovely watch! how many were produced and in what format---- steel, white gold? best henry
500 in YG with white dial...
.. and 20 or 30 (shop LE) in WG with black dial as you see above..... Also, there are even less PT with black dial, I hear, but I have never seen in person..... Ken
