In the short period between 1957 and the mid 1970s Electric Watches reigned. Electric means they have a battery, either a balance wheel or a tuning fork and either electrical contacts or a transistor. This was a very short-lived transitional phase: transistors were just becoming available and mass-produced quartz watches had not yet appeared.

I have got the one incoming, I just love the patina on the dial! It is what decided me to buy the watch, because the original pristine silver sunburst dial did not do it for me (last picture). These are the seller's pics, so they are crap. I will upload better ones in time.

Seiko's early quartzes can be downright intimidating, what do all these numbers and letters mean? Well, after some years of doing my research I can finally say with confidence what's what. 
As of 1971 The '38' movements were Seiko's first widely available quartz movements, but first was the 1969 Seiko Quartz Astron (100 or so made) representing a groundbreaking technological breakthrough.

The watch’s tuning-fork-shaped quartz oscillator gave the Astron’s movement, Calib

A very beautiful early Elnix from 1971..
