Grand Seiko 60th Anniversary'Limited Edition SPGP015

Grand Seiko is a darling of contemporary watch collectors. Taking even a cursory glance at the design specs — or better yet, an example in the metal — it’s easy to see why. The artisanal talent that goes into the design and manufacturing process of their dials alone is breathtaking. Depending on your viewing angle, the color and texture of a Grand Seiko dial plays dynamically in the light with breathtaking vibrance. They’re works of art steeped in Japanese tradition. This particular reference, an SBGP015, is a Limited Edition model produced to celebrate six decades of high Japanese craftsmanship. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case, it offers a blue ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal, signed crown, with Zaratsu polishing techniques deployed throughout. Its radial sunburst dial is finished in a deep blue tone with applied polished indices, a framed date window at 3 o'clock, and an ‘Alpha’ handset featuring a distinguishable red center seconds hand. This model is powered by an in-house, high-precision Calibre 9F85 quartz movement.  Each quartz crystal is homegrown and aged by GS for a period of three months and integrated with its own unique circuit compensated for temperature changes, making it perhaps the most over-engineered quartz mechanism on the planet! This one-owner example is in excellent, lightly-worn condition and comes paired to its original multi-link stainless steel bracelet with a signed push-button deployant clasp. It  also comes complete with its full set of factory collateral including boxes, papers, books, and extract.  Handsome, practical and limited to 2000 units produced, this is a stealthy statement piece from one of the best in the game!
