This rear loading 8110 model of the 48xx series quartz movements is a revised “B” variant with smaller battery. This does away with the battery bump-out of the “A” variant. Regardless of this small design revision, the 4823B has the same construction and heft; full metal main plate and bridges, full train of wheels and jeweled seconds jumper. The watch feels very substantial on wrist; similar if not more than its mechanical counterparts. Dial and hand finishing are excellent and a good reminder that early quartz models were some of the expensive in Seiko’s catalogue at the time. The case, caseback and bezel are in excellent condition with bright sides and a brushed top surface. A black leather strap is fitted and the combination makes it look near brand new. The bright white dial has a very fine texture that is almost paperlike with a slight sparkle. The oyster style case is very elegant, along with the black tipped handset, the piece has a timeless, minimalist look.
Being a highly accurate quartz watch, with excellent legibility, and a day/date complication, this is a perfect every day watch. It’s refined enough for the office or dressed up for a formal occation. Finally, early quartz watches tend to be larger than than mechanical watches of the time, so this is also en excellent choice if a larger than average vintage watch is desired.
