The symbol of Grand Seiko from its earliest days, the lion now inspires a powerful sports watch. 

Born together with the first Grand Seiko in 1960, the lion emblem on the case back reflected the ambition to create the most precise, durable, and beautiful watch possible and revealed the intensity of this determination.  

So it was that the lion came to symbolize the inner strength of Grand Seiko.
Today, the majestic creature leaves its mark on the strongly angled case and the claw-like shape of the lugs, as well as on the dial’s mane pattern.
 
Though the case is powerful, the watch rests comfortably on the wrist thanks to its curved profile and the inward slant of the case sides.
