With this model, Grand Seiko [[2020]] celebrated the 60th anniversary of "Grand Seiko" as well as the eponymous brand with a reissue of the original [[1960]].
The exact day was December 18, 1960, when a team at Seiko's site in Suwa, central Japan, had been working determinedly for some time on a watch that would be as accurate, durable, comfortable and beautiful as humanly possible. On that day, the result of all their efforts was unveiled: A watch with a 14-carat gold case and a slim movement whose accuracy met the highest international standards of the time. This watch was such a great achievement that it was decided to call it "Grand Seiko". With this year's anniversary, it is now time to add a new edition of the first Grand Seiko from 1960 as a permanent part of the collection.
The watch is powered by the [[manufacture caliber]] [[Seiko 9S64|Cal. 9S64]], which achieves an accuracy of -3 to +5 seconds per day and a very high power reserve of three days (72 hours). **Movement:** * [[Manufacture Caliber]] [[Seiko 9S64]], 28,800 A/h * [[Manual Winding]] * 24 [[jewels]] * Power reserve 72 h **Case:** * 18K [[yellow gold]] * Ø 38 mm, H 10.9 mm * Double domed [[sapphire crystal]], inside anti-reflective coating * Transparent case back with lion motif * [[Waterproof]] to 20 atm **Dial:** * White **Functions:** * Hour, minute, [[center second]] * [[Stop second]] **Wristband:** * Crocodile leather with [[deployment clasp]] **Price:** * 27,000 EUR (2021) {{tag>Watch_models Grand_Seiko_Models}}
