A slim, mid-size re-interpretation of the 44GS with a manually wound movement and a radiating dial pattern
Mean daily rate is a mean value of daily rates in a condition where the movement before assembly in a case is measured in six positions in a fixed manner under artificially controlled environment for 12 days.
The year 1967 saw the release of the 44GS, the watch in which the Grand Seiko Style design language was fully realized. By modernizing the interpretation while seeking to re-create the design elements as much as possible, we have arrived at the evolved 44GS design. This model has inherited a design befitting Grand Seiko in all aspects, from the hands and dial to the case, taking the form of a watch that displays Japanese aesthetics in a modern fashion.
The Grand Seiko Style that took shape in the 44GS finds inspiration in the straight lines and flat surfaces that can be observed in certain traditional Japanese objects, including paper sliding doors, folding screens, and folding fans, and this was the direction that was chosen for this watch’s dial as well. Its radiating pattern is created from a series of flat surfaces, reminiscent of a folding fan, harmonizing with the 44GS case in a design that points to the roots of the Grand Seiko Style. Echoing these traditional Japanese objects, the watch’s dark-blue dial expresses the passage of time.
Grand Seiko watches epitomize Japanese watchmaking excellence since 1960, blending precision and elegance. Crafted by skilled artisans, they combine artistry and engineering, offering innovative designs like the Heritage and Elegance series. Powered by advanced technologies such as the Spring Drive and Hi-Beat movement, they accompany adventurers worldwide.
