GRAND SEIKO 45GS Hi-Beat 36000 ref.4522-8000 cal.4522A / March 1969

— A scene found nowhere else —

A distinctive patina has appeared on the silver dial.

More than fifty years have given it the face of Mars.

The whole has moved from silver toward amber, holding the deep expression particular to vintage.

— A beat of 36,000 vibrations —

Fitted with the celebrated Cal. SEIKO 4522A, developed in pursuit of accuracy.

A high-beat specification of 36,000 vibrations per hour — ten per second — and a masterpiece that can be called the high point of Japanese watchmaking at the time.

The certain feel of manual winding, and the fine sound of it running.

It gives you the joy of operating a mechanical watch.

The "GS" medallion shining on the caseback: an unshakeable symbol of being at the summit.

— An unchanging aesthetic —

Sharp-edged case lines and multi-faceted indexes concentrate the essence of the Seiko Style, which handles light and shadow with real skill.

That design is still carried forward in today's Grand Seiko.

The gold medallion on the caseback is intact, and the condition shows how carefully this watch has been kept.

— Toward the next half century —

This example was made in March 1969.

It was born while Japan was in the fever of its high-growth years.

Half a century on, the 45GS still keeps the discipline of a working watch.

Enjoy the deep appeal of a vintage watch at your own wrist.
