The combination of flat, polished, brushed surfaces, sharp edges, and equally short lugs makes it easily recognisable<\/strong>. Add some historical touches, and there you have it: a must-have for the brand\u2019s fans, sure to attract vintage lovers and new customers.<\/p>\nSource: GS9 Club<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe yellow gold model has a white cream dial paying homage to the original. Both adopt an eye-catching glass box covering the 1968 logos: SEIKO on top, GS at the bottom with \u201cHi-Beat\u201d<\/em> and \u201c36,000\u201d<\/em>, and the legendary Daini Seikosha lighting bolt logo, celebrating where the first Grand Seiko 45GS was manufactured<\/strong> 56 years ago.<\/p>\nNostalgia on the outside. Contemporary on the inside.<\/h3>\n The 1968 Grand Seiko 45 GS featured a solid caseback with a GS medallion. Flip the case over, and you will see that the 9SA4 calibre is not hidden<\/strong>. Here is the most technically advanced and top-performing hand-wound movement in the 10,000 Euro area.<\/p>\nThe case seamlessly houses the calibre (you can see it by the thin ring surrounding it), is 10.4 mm thick (hence 0.9 mm thicker than the Evolution 9 case model equipped with the same mechanical movement), and extends up to 38.8 mm<\/strong>. The case profile is curved as opposed to an original 45GS square one.<\/p>\nSource: GS9 Club<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe extensively\u00a0described the 9SA4 calibre when introducing the 2024 new products in April. Check that content if you are eager to discover more. Here are a few specs that deserve the headlines: a double-impulse escapement<\/strong> (it helps reach an eighty-hour power reserve) and a free-sprung balance.<\/p>\nFinal thoughts<\/h2>\n Grand Seiko will manufacture 1,200 SLGW005 and 200 SLGW004 pieces. The steel model is produced in quantities high enough to meet the high demand we expect from the brand\u2019s\u00a0admirers, this duo\u2019s primary target audience<\/strong>.<\/p>\nA retail price of 10,400 Euros is fair for what you get, but perhaps slightly high if you aim to attract new followers.<\/p>\n
The gold option exceeds the 32,000 Euros<\/strong> threshold and is the most compelling 45GS re-edition. However, we expect the\u00a0brand to further\u00a0distinguish gold and steel models, especially in product finish and movement materials.<\/p>\nThumbs down to the Grand Seiko logo<\/strong> applied on the caseback\u2019s sapphire crystal, an add-on we would remove from any Limited Edition GS model.<\/p>\n(Photo credit: Grand Seiko)<\/p>\n

Introduction At Baselworld 2013, Seiko introduced a contemporary re-edition of the glorious Grand Seiko 44GS, which set the \u201cGrammar of Design\u201d rules to mark 100 years of Seiko watchmaking. Released in four variations, as faithful to the 1967 model as possible, that\u00a0model came in extremely low quantities. In particular, the white, yellow and rose gold […]<\/p>\n
