·Good Morning
Some months ago, I bought two identical watches which very very rare very limited editions, both are Seiko Ananta Brightz 130th Anniversary Editions with the cal 8r39a from 2011
1st one
2nd one
And on the wrist
This Seiko is not something you see every day, the rose gold bezel and rose gold chrono pushers, the urushi dial plus the black ion plating give it a touch of an absolute luxury chronograph. The accuracy on it was outstanding from 0 to +1 per sec day and tested during a month it is a great time keeper. It has also a quick set date but you need to turn the crown counterclockwise in order to adjust it. The 8r39 is an evolution of the 8r28 which is column wheel chrono movement with a vertical clutch and three hammers, it is easily rivals with the Rolex 4130 and the Zenith El Primero.
Definitely a collectible item by now and an absolute must have for those who want something different, the Ananta Brightz 130th Anniversary is a very rare watch and perhaps one of the best modern Seiko chronographs ever built.
Have a nice day
Best regards and stay safe
