Seiko Watch Corporation will release the regular model of the Grand Seiko "44GS Modern Design" on September 9th.
Authentic design details that highlight the "Seiko style"
This mid-size mechanical watch, measuring 36.5mm in diameter, is the smallest in the modern 44GS history, and will be released as a regular model for the first time.
The silver dial features a radial pattern and a strap in a similar color. The overall gray tone creates a dignified and elegant impression. The warm box crystal and the well-balanced, thin abbreviated numerals and hands complement the case, highlighting the refined dial design.
The "Seiko Style" Pursues the Essence of Watchmaking
The "Seiko Style" is a design grammar devised to give Grand Seiko, born with the quest for the pinnacle of precision, an appearance worthy of a luxury watch. The Seiko Style, which creates brilliantly shining watches, was established with the release of the "44GS" in 1967. Its roots lie in Japanese aesthetics. The style, which creates beauty by manipulating the light emitted by the mirrored surface and the shadows cast by the three-dimensional shape, is achieved through advanced artisanal techniques, including "Zaratsu polishing," which polishes to a smooth, beautiful surface without distortion.
Since its launch in 1960, Grand Seiko has been a brand that has made tireless progress, striving to create the finest wristwatches, pursuing and realizing the essential qualities of a wristwatch, such as accuracy, beauty, and legibility, at a high level. Since beginning full-scale global expansion in 2010, the brand has earned high praise around the world for the highest level of performance and sophisticated design that only a true manufacture, one of the few in the world, can achieve.
