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, famed Japanese
producer Seiko offers something for everyone. Grand Seiko finally became
a separate manufacture brand from the Seiko brand in 2017, but from
1995 onward Grand Seiko timepieces stood out as the brand’s crowning
achievements.
Inspired by how alluring and beautiful dusk can often be
in the stylish Ginza district, this highly limited Grand Seiko Heritage
Collection Ginza Edition timepiece is one of only 200 pieces produced.
Originally sold in 2021, it was only available in six official shops
located in Ginza. As such, today it can be a challenge to obtain.
The gorgeous dusky blue dial showcases applied gold tone
stick hour markers and sword-shaped hands. There is also a date window
at 3 and a power-reserve indicator between 7 and 8.
The stainless steel case measures 40 mm in diameter, 12.5
mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a
three-fold clasp with push release.
Additional case features include a screw-down winding
crown, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a 100 m / 10 atm water
resistance, and an exhibition case back which allows you to see the
movement in action.
Speaking of the movement, this watch is driven by the
Spring Drive automatic 9R65 caliber, which possesses 30 jewels and
delivers a 72-hour power reserve. Spring Drive technology utilizes the
mainspring as its sole power source. The mainspring drives a series of
gears as you would find in a mechanical watch and gives you a precision
of one second a day.
From its limited-edition production to its attractive
stylings and robust construction, we are confident that this Grand Seiko
Heritage Collection Ginza Edition timepiece will make a fabulous
addition to your collection.
Standout feature(s): Limited-edition alert: only 200
pieces produced!; Spring Drive movement and convenient 72-hour power
reserve; lovely rose gold tone indexes and hands.
