The Watch

Here we have a 2022 Grand Seiko "Orbit" 55th Anniversary 44GS SLGA013G limited to 500 pieces, the impressively sculptured 40mm stainless steel case is a modern interpretation of their iconic 44GS of 1967, exquisitely polished and brushed surfaces curve over your wrist toward the drilled lugs, and a lug-to-lug of 47mm and a case thickness of 12mm gives the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed crown sitting slightly recessed, and a smooth bevel-edged bezel holds a box-shaped sapphire crystal. The black dial has a stunning deeply etched textured pattern that reflects the elliptical orbit of the stars in our night skies, an outer minute track surrounds applied chamfered-edges batons with vertical lines on the top surface, that magically play with the light as you rotate your wrist, at 3 o’clock a framed date window, elegant Dauphine hands are Zaratsu polished with razor edges complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand. At 12 o’clock an applied “GS” and printed “Grand Seiko” underneath, and at 6 o’clock “Spring Drive 5 Days” complete this distinctive dress watch. On the reverse, we have a screw-down exhibition case back, inside a Grand Seiko 5-Days Spring Drive Cal. 9RA2, the innovative Spring Drive movement is mechanical, but with an electromagnetic escapement regulated by a quartz oscillator, it has 38 jewels and a power reserve of an impressive 5 days. Its sole power source is a mainspring that drives a series of gears, a rotor connected to the end of these gears then generates a small electrical charge that activates an electronic circuit and quartz oscillator, therefore there is no need for a battery. The movement has Dual-size barrels and a one-piece centre bridge which provides strength, durability and shock resistance. The watch comes fitted on its original Seiko 19mm polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet with a signed folding clasp and comes with its Seiko presentation box, swing tag and papers.
