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 supremely elegant and refined
Grand Seiko timepiece displays mid-sized stylings as a direct quotation
of the original 44GS from 1967. As such, you’ll enjoy how the stainless
steel case is sized 36.5 mm in diameter and 11.6 mm in height.
Handsomely minimalist at heart, take a
moment to peer through the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal to spy the
lovely silver-tone sunray dial—simply an exercise in debonair grace.
Applied baton hour markers upon the hour keep a sense of blissful
continuity.
The stainless steel case is polished
using Grand Seiko’s Zaratsu technique, which delivers an enviable
beauty. Additional features include a solid case back, push / pull
winding crown, and 100 m / 10 atm water resistance. The grey crocodile
leather strap sports a stainless steel folding clasp.
As a manually wound timepiece, this
Heritage Collection watch is driven by the mechanical 9S64 caliber,
which possesses 24 jewels, delivers a convenient 72-hour power reserve,
and has a magnetic resistance to 4,800 A/m.
From its minimalist beauty to its expert
craftsmanship, we are confident that this Grand Seiko Heritage
Collection timepiece will make an essential addition to your collection.
Standout feature(s): Convenient 72-hour power reserve; magnetic resistance to 4,800 A/m; classic stylings and gorgeous silver-tone sunray dial.
