What We Fancy

Launched in December 1970, the Grand Seiko “Specials” are some of the most accurate movements GS ever developed at around 3 seconds per day. Grand Seiko was founded in 1960 as Seiko’s top-of-the-line watchmaking division. The market in recent years has turned to vintage Grand Seiko to finally start appreciating the high level of watchmaking they offer. To me, vintage Grand Seiko is still very much undervalued, and finding good condition examples like this is always a grand ole’ time.
