About This Watch

Brand new, unused watch. Complete with orig. boxes, manual, tag & pre-dated paper.

This is the much admired Grand Seiko Hi Beat 20th anniversary Limited edition where only 1500 numbered pieces were made and sold without discount across most retailers. It is cased in a 39.5mm steel case with their zaratsu finished lugs & of course the in-house movement. Watch is factory sealed and bracelet never sized. Look at the dial and that rotor!

More information available here from factory. An in-depth review by Hodinkee available here.

This Hi-Beat 36000 automatic Seiko watch features a dial in Grand Seiko Blue, the theme color of Grand Seiko, along with the Grand Seiko logo and second hand in gold.
The see-through case back shows a special oscillating weight made of titanium and tungsten with the titanium surface colored blue by an anodic oxidation process, which carries a Grand Seiko lion emblem and the anniversary title “Caliber 9S 20th Anniversary since 1998 Limited Edition” in gold.

The radial spiral dial design consists of 80 spun curved lines adopted for the 20th anniversary limited edition models of the 9S Mechanical Caliber and embodies the Grand Seiko spirit connecting the path of history it has followed to the future. The “G” and “S” of Grand Seiko and the “S” mark of Daini Seikosha (currently Seiko Instruments Inc.) , which produced the first 10-beat watch, “45GS,” are regularly arranged.
This watch features the clean edges and distortion-free mirror surfaces that only Grand Seiko’s Zaratsu polishing can deliver. Smooth curves are added to the beautiful three-dimensional structure characteristic of Grand Seiko style for a graceful profile.
