🌟 In the Spotlight:
The Seiko Grand Seiko Historical Collection 62GS Watch earned an impressive 7.86 points in the 2015 #WatchStance Awards, becoming a top pick for best men’s dress watches under 50,000 RMB. Renowned watch expert @SJX shares an insightful review of this masterpiece. 🕰️💎

62GS: A Classic Revived
Seiko has masterfully recreated the 62GS, a cornerstone in Grand Seiko's rich history. Originally launched in 1967, this was Seiko’s first automatic winding Grand Seiko watch, now revived with a design true to its roots. 🎨

🎉 Celebrating 55 Years of Grand Seiko Excellence
At Baselworld 2015, Seiko unveiled this reissue to honor Grand Seiko’s 55th anniversary. Its 4 o’clock crown and diamond-polished case pay homage to its iconic design, while following the legacy of earlier models like the 57GS Self-Dater and 44GS.

🔍 Key Enhancement:
The case diameter has increased to 37.6mm (1mm larger than the original), accommodating a modern movement while preserving its timeless appeal.

💎 A Design That Stands Out
🔹 Unique Case Construction:
Crafted from a single block of polished steel, the case integrates a sapphire crystal and multi-faceted lugs, adding a distinctive character.

🔹 Zaratsu Polishing:
Both the case and the Grand Seiko emblem on the dial are polished using Zaratsu, a Japanese mirror-polishing technique reminiscent of sword crafting. 🗡️

🔹 4 O’clock Crown Placement:
The crown's placement highlights the automatic winding mechanism, reducing the need for daily manual adjustments.

🔹 Timeless Dial Features:

Diamond-cut hands and markers: Reflect light brilliantly for excellent legibility, even in dim environments.
Vintage-style GS logo: Enhances its retro charm.
🏆 Case Variants and Materials
The 62GS is available in stainless steel and three precious metal variants (18K white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold):

🔸 Stainless Steel (SBGR095G): Closely resembles the original with a silver dial.
🔸 White Gold (SBGR091): Features a white dial and blue steel second hand.
🔸 Yellow Gold (SBGR092) & Rose Gold (SBGR094): Luxurious alternatives for collectors.
