The two new watches in this series are unmistakably
Grand Seiko. Their design respects the heritage
that was born in 1967 with the classic 62GS with its
bezel-free construction, sharply angled hands and
markers and highly polished surfaces. The new design
combines the strong, distinctive look of one of Grand
Seiko’s seminal creations with a fresh, soft and feminine
grace.
There is a warm and uniquely Japanese elegance to
the dials that derives from the combination of the two
diagonally positioned diamonds at 12 o’clock, the tactile
texture of the dial surface and the leaf shaped hour markers
which, like the tapered hour and minute hands, are
polished to ensure both their beauty and their legibility.
The refinement of the case is most evident when seen
from the side. The diamonds are perfectly aligned
along the Zaratsu polished surface which has the perfect,
distortion-free finish that only this handcraft technique
can deliver. While soft to the touch, every edge
is sharp to the eye and catches the light in a way that is
in sparkling harmony with the line of diamonds.
