Features
Maintaining the elegant and subdued styling of the original, this new Grand Seiko First re-creation uses cutting-edge technologies and evolved design considerations to bring a midcentury classic into the modern era.
This limited-edition model features an 18K rose gold case and a “starry night” theme courtesy of a shimmering navy-blue dial. The rose gold of the case and the navy blue of the dial combine to express a beautiful starry sky. And the dial’s 18K gold indexes produce a brilliant light akin to the twinkling of stars in the night sky. While the use of navy lends a modern impression to the dial and the accompanying crocodile strap, an additional brown crocodile strap provides a classic option.

The theme of a “starry night” communicates the eternal passage of time
The light of the stars in the night sky evokes a sense of the eternal passage of time. The world of this starry sky is created through the navy dial with 18K gold indexes. While maintaining the classic expression of the Grand Seiko First, which debuted in 1960, this watch introduces materials that were not present in the original.

The manually wound mechanical movement features a maximum continuous power reserve of 72 hours (about three days). As the mainspring unwinds, its torque diminishes gradually to ensure that accuracy remains stable.
