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.
In
celebration of the 140th anniversary of Kintaro Hattori founding his
watch and jewelry shop, Grand Seiko created an exquisite quartz GMT
timepiece in a limited-edition run of only 2,021 watches produced.
By
honoring Hattori and the brand's long legacy, this bold and refined
Grand Seiko Sport piece is versatile as a dress or sport watch for any
occasion.
You
will surely notice the scratch-resistant ceramic bezel with its GMT
24-hour scale—a convenient feature for the frequent traveler. The
two-tone ring upon the dial and third luminous arm in yellow makes
telling the time in two locations quick and easy.
Luminous
hands and applied hour markers are great for low light, and there is a
handy date window at 4 along with a minute track in white. The
black-colored dial offers a dynamic radiating pattern that enlivens this
landscape in every direction.
The
closed caseback prominently features a luxurious 18K gold Grand Seiko
lion medallion. The stainless steel case measures a comfortable 40 mm in
diameter, 13.7 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet
with a folding clasp.
Additional
features include a screw-down winding crown, scratch-resistant sapphire
crystal, and water resistance to 200 m / 20 atm.
The
Grand Seiko 9F86 quartz GMT caliber is constructed of quality materials
that results in a high precision of -10 to +10 seconds per year.
As
a limited-edition timepiece of expert quality and handsome stylings,
this Grand Seiko Sport GMT 140th Anniversary watch will make an
essential addition to your collection.
