The 60th anniversary of Grand Seiko is marked by the the re-creation of the 1960 original. 2020 is a special year for Grand Seikoas it is the 60th anniversary of its creation. The date was December 18, 1960. For some time, a determined team in Seiko’s Suwafacility in central Japan had been working on the creation of a watch that would be as precise, durable, comfortable and beautifulas humanly possible. On that day, the result of all their efforts was released. It was a watch with a 14k gold filled case and aslim movement whose precision met the highest international standard of the time. Such was the level of their achievement that itwas decided to call the watch Grand Seiko. Now, in this special year, a new re-creation of the first Grand Seiko watch from 1960takes its permanent place in the collection. The case shape and the softly curved dial and hands are entirely faithful to the 1960original, but the case back is now in sapphire, revealing the beautiful finish of the movement. In line with today’s aesthetic, thecase diameter has been increased from 35mm to 38mm and a three-fold clasp makes the watch easy to wear. The third case is inBrilliant Hard Titanium, which is exclusive to Grand Seiko. It is as light as pure titanium but twice as hard as stainless steeland therefore highly resistant to scratches. Its color is brighter than the other forms of titanium used for Grand Seiko and allowsthe Zaratsu polished surfaces to stand out even more prominently.
