A dial reflecting the illuminated Seiko House Ginza against the autumn night sky
This model features a glossy black dial depicting Seiko House Ginza against the backdrop of Ginza on an autumn night. The black dial, with its delicate radial embossed pattern that appears depending on the angle, creates the image of a clear night sky and the illuminated clock tower, highlighted by the gold GS logo.

Slim design with gently curved surfaces
The case form is sharply sculpted yet composed of gently curved surfaces, and the mirror finish created by skilled polishing craftsmen gives it a beautiful shine. The gently curved dome-shaped crystal and dial, and the hands are carefully crafted one by one by artisans to follow them, improving readability of the time.
Equipped with hand-wound Spring Drive movement, caliber 9R31
The movement is Spring Drive movement, caliber 9R31, manufactured by Shinshu Toki no Takumi Kobo. The dual spring barrel mechanism, which uses two power springs in a single barrel, achieves a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. The watch's beautiful exterior is also an attraction, with a delicate hairline finish on the bridge, chamfered edges, and blued screws.
