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.
This Grand Seiko GMT timepiece was
produced in collaboration with Hodinkee as an exclusive limited edition
of 500 watches designated to the United States only.
Its brooding twilight blue dial with
attractive grey accents is inspired by the chiaroscuro of day turning to
night…that magic time known as Yugure, or, dusk.
The handsome dial also showcases an
easy-to-read date window at 3, as well as a GMT function that allows
you, temporally speaking, to be in two places at once via the third
arrow-tipped hand and inner 24-hour track.
The exhibition case back allows you to
see the self-winding automatic Grand Seiko 9S66 caliber in its full
glory. Manufactured entirely in-house, this caliber delivers a wonderful
72-hour power reserve.
Its stainless steel case is rated to 30
m / 3 atm of water resistance and measures 39.5 mm in diameter, 13.7 mm
in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a folding
clasp buckle with safety release.
From its limited-edition availability
to its elegant minimalist stylings, we are confident that this Grand
Seiko GMT for Hodinkee will make an excellent addition to your
collection.
Standout feature(s): Limited edition of only 500
pieces produced; slightly domed sapphire crystal; attractive combination
