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.
Grand Seiko refers to this dynamic dial as resembling a kind of alluring "urban bamboo." We heartily concur. Watch how the subtle variations of green cast a spell as you move the watch through space and time.
The urban aspect of this timepiece can be found in the supremely convenient second GMT time zone feature that can be read via the light green hand. To be sure, this is a wonderful feature for the frequent traveller.
Applied silver stick hour markers and sword-shaped hands are prominent against this uniquely charming dial. Look for a date window at 3 and a center seconds hand.
The exciting exhibition caseback allows you to check out the self-winding with manual winding Seiko Hi-Beat 9S86 caliber in action. This robust movement beats at 36,000 vph, possesses 37 jewels and has a 55-hour power reserve. In addition, it sports a 4,800 A/m magnetic resistance.
The stainless steel case measures a comfortable 40 mm in diameter, 14 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a three-fold clasp with a push release. Additional features include a screw-down winding crown, 100 m / 10 atm water resistance, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
From its attractive stylings to its expert construction, we are confident that this Heritage Collection Bamboo Special Edition watch by Grand Seiko will make a wonderful addition to your collection.
