The details
Full description
A classic Grand Seiko design with a dial that captures a treasured moment in the Japanese seasonal calendar.
This is a modern re-interpretation of the celebrated 62GS from 1967. The 62GS was not only Grand SeikoÕs first watch with an automatic movement, but it was also, along with the 44GS released the same year, the watch that first expressed the design grammar, the Grand Seiko Style, that still shapes all Grand Seiko designs today. Like its predecessor, this modern re-interpretation has the characteristic sharp edges and perfect distortion-free surfaces that only Zaratsu polishing can create and a wide dial opening which was achieved thanks to a bezel-free construction.
The deep green dial evokes the sights and sounds of Rikka, the seventh of JapanÕs twenty-four sekki or seasons. Spring has passed and the increasing warmth of the sun's rays announces that summer has begun. JapanÕs plants take on a deeper green hue and, as they grow, sway elegantly in the ÔKumpuÕ wind.
The watch is powered by the hi-beat automatic caliber 9S85 and is hand assembled by the skilled craftsmen and women of the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi.
