This quartz creation is a quintessentially Grand Seiko design. The dial is clean and clear but has a unique texture that attracts and holds the eye. The mid-size case is 34mm in diameter and has a slim, elegant profile with a narrow bezel and a box-shaped crystal that allow for maximum legibility. The hour and minute hands are diamond cut so as to reflect even the palest light and to stand out clearly from the royal blue dial. The hour markers, too, are diamond cut. The caliber, 9F61, is, of course, exclusive to Grand Seiko and delivers 10 seconds a year precision. At first glance, the watch is classically traditional but, viewed close up, the perfection of every detail reveals its unique heritage.
