Features
In 1968, Grand Seiko introduced the 45GS. This watch came just one year after the 44GS, the legendary creation that established the brand’s design code, the Grand Seiko Style. Although the two watches were nearly identical in styling, the 45GS featured a dramatic upgrade in terms of stability and performance with the brand’s first manual-winding high-beat movement, the Caliber 4520. Today, re-creation of this milestone is born.
The original's angular case, which featured flat, mirror-polished surfaces and curved case sides, has been re-created using Grand Seiko's latest watchmaking technology. The dial colors and lettering are virtually identical to the originals. At the 12 o'clock position appear the Seiko letters, which have been made to reimagine the vintage character of the original. At the six o'clock position, one will notice the GS and Hi-Beat letters; the number 36000, which signifies the high frequency of the movement; and even the Daini Seikosha factory logo, indicating the birthplace of the original 45GS.

The original 45GS introduced in 1968
The design creates a remarkable brilliance based on the interplay of light and shadow, which has been at the core of Grand Seiko's design grammar since it was established in 1967 with the 44GS.
Caliber 9SA4
Caliber 9SA4 was created to provide the ultimate hand-winding experience, with a winding sound and feel demonstrating its craftsmanship and quality. It has a high frequency of 10 vibrations per second, which leads to stable precision, and a long power reserve of up to 80 hours.
