The famed Japanese watch company Seiko traces its roots back to a watch and jewelry shop that first opened in 1881 in Tokyo’s Ginza district. Seiko can mean either exquisite or success in Japanese, two words that the brand continues to embody to this day. Offering a dynamic range of timepieces at a variety of price-points, Seiko offers something for everyone.

This Grand Seiko Heritage Collection Hi-Beat 36000 timepiece deftly incorporates classic design features from 1967’s 44GS model with the contemporary update of Ever-Brilliant stainless steel, an alloy that ensures greater resistance to corrosion.

Furthermore, this piece possesses a Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) value 1.7 times higher than what you’ll find in many luxury timepieces. This Ever-Brilliant stainless steel case measures 40 mm in diameter, 14 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp.

Through the exhibition caseback we encounter Grand Seiko’s self-winding automatic Hi-Beat caliber 9S85, which delivers 36,000 bph and a 55-hour power reserve.

The elegant silvered patterned dial showcases applied baton hour markers, a minute track, and a date window tastefully positioned at 3. Additional features include a screw-down winding crown, 100 m / 10 atm water resistance, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

From its classic, handsome stylings to its expert construction and dependability, we believe this Heritage Collection Hi-Beat 36000 watch by Grand Seiko will make an essential addition to your collection.
