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.
A charming, inviting combination of green and yellow stylings invite you to add this Grand Seiko GMT to your collection.
The
handsome green of the tough ceramic fixed bezel sports a 24-hour scale
that can be used to read a GMT time zone in conjunction with the dashing
yellow arm.
Against
the deep green of the dial applied hour markers and hands with
LumiBrite luminosity can be easily read in the lowest light. In
addition, at 9 we encounter a convenient power-reserve indicator as well
as a date window at 4 and a central seconds hand.
The
celebrated self-winding automatic Spring Drive Grand Seiko 9R66 caliber
possesses 30 jewels and delivers an excellent 72 hours of power—which
is three days! You’ll also surely appreciate the magnetic resistance to
4,800 A/m.
The
stainless steel case measures a comfortable 40.5 mm in diameter, 14.7
mm in height, has a closed caseback, and rests upon a stainless steel
bracelet with a folding clasp. It boasts a fabulous 200 m / 20 atm water
resistance and has a screw-down crown and scratch-resistant sapphire
crystal.
