The Grand Seiko 45GS, which arrived today, was released in 1968.
Grand Seiko's first manual-winding high-beat model.
It is no exaggeration to say that this watch is the foundation of today's Grand Seiko.
The high-beat movement is a structure used in many watches today.
When precision is required, a high-beat movement is essential.
Seiko was the first in the world to make this commonplace.
This would prove the high level of their technical capabilities in the late 1960s.
Although the high-beat movements of that time also had some drawbacks,
It was amazing that such a complete product could be produced in the late 1960s.
I think this is a wonderful event in the history of watches.
Rolex and even Omega have been moving towards high-beat watches since the 1970s,
Even though it was only a few years ago, the fact that Japanese brands have been ahead of the world's leading brands in terms of technological capabilities is a testament to
It is something I can be proud of as a Japanese person.
And when it comes to Seiko, there is the distinctive case design known as the "Seiko style."
The edgy, sharp case design is one of a kind.
The beauty of the case side, which appears flat but has an exquisite curve,
It can be said to be a product unique to Japanese manufacturing.
The general design of the Grand Seiko, including the dial,
I think it was perfected with the GS Second, which is characterized by its larger case size.
Speaking of the Grand Seiko feel that is present in current products,
It has a Seiko-style case design.
I think this 45GS is one of them.
At the time, the 45GS was the only simple, hand-wound, no-date watch in the lineup.
Its simplicity has been highly praised in recent years,
With the release of the reproduction model, I feel that its existence has become even more widely known.
The 45GS that I personally own is extremely easy to use.
It has a distinctive yet simple design, so it can be worn with any outfit.
This is a watch that is both practical and accurate, giving you peace of mind.
Even I can't believe that this watch was made about 55 years ago.
There is almost no difference in brightness between the sun and the thin design means it doesn't get in the way.
I am impressed that such a well-made product exists in Japan.
The 45GS, which can be said to be a turning point in history, is one of the historic masterpieces not only for Seiko but also for Japanese wristwatches.
Owning an item like this will give you a great deal of satisfaction.
Grand Seiko is highly regarded not only in Japan but also overseas, regardless of age.
The value of vintage models in particular has risen significantly in recent years.
Don't miss this opportunity to get your hands on a wonderful Japanese vintage watch!
