Light, shadow and texture
The Grand Seiko Style that the 1967 44GS embodied has nine separate elements that govern the design of every detail of the watch, from the angle of the case to the shape of the 12 o’clock index and the flatness of the dial. All are clearly in evidence here and contribute to the special “sparkle of quality” that defines Grand Seiko. Every facet of the case, the hands and the indexes is designed to reflect even the smallest ray of light and to create countless combinations of light and shadow that change at each new angle. The Zaratsu polished mirror surfaces and hairline finishes combine perfectly. The dial’s texture is as delicate as the flower that inspires it. This is the crisp, clear, unique aesthetic that says “This is Grand Seiko”.
The strength of the lion and an individual serial number
This 44GS 55th Anniversary watch is offered in a limited edition of 1,200. The words Limited Edition and the individual serial number are engraved on the case back alongside the lion which has been the emblem of Grand Seiko’s strength ever since was first presented in 1960.
