About This Watch

Pre-owned. Complete with orig. boxes, manual, tag & dated paper.

This is the 55th anniversary model Grand Seiko featuring the Calibre 9S, cased in a large 42mm steel case with their zaratsu finished lugs & of course the in-house movement. This model is fitted with an intricately decorated blue lacquered dial and made in limited edition of just 500pcs. One owner's watch purchased new from the Seiko boutique in Singapore. Watch is unpolished and shows very light wear with little abuse so we left it alone and a thorough wash to remove any dirt.

More information available here from factory. This watch was purchased for S$6221.60 after a 5% discount with the Seiko boutique and yes, you don't get much discount for GS watches as this is the most revered Japanese brand that's well appreciated by enthusiasts.

A thorough review here by Monochrome & a simpler but easier to understand review here by Timeless.

Grand Seiko released its first watch in 1960, challenging the perception that the Swiss were the undisputed masters of fine watchmaking. In the nearly 60 years since the first Grand Seiko, the company has become known the world over for producing some of the most elegantly designed timepieces in the world while developing innovative technologies such as Spring Drive. Even while maintaining its high quality standards, it delivers tons of value in its watches, making it popular with collectors at all levels. In 2017, Grand Seiko became its own brand within Seiko’s expansive watchmaking portfolio.

This model has appreciated in value. A quick check shows that some dealers are asking as high as over S$9K for this same model and being just 500 made, this is a rare watch in the global market.
