In the time since the first Grand Seiko hit the market in 1960, the Grand Seiko has become a crown-jewel timepiece among watch collectors and enthusiasts. Now, Seiko is celebrating the 15th anniversary of its very first chronograph with the release of the Grand Seiko Chronograph 15th Anniversary Limited Edition. The Grand Seiko Chronograph Limited Edition features a 43.5mm case made out of high-intensity titanium, a 72-hour power reserve, and Seiko’s Caliber 9R86 movement – billed as the most accurate chronograph movement in the world. Other impressive features of this limited edition watch include its 10-bar water resistance, a power reserve display, and a limited-edition engraving on the case back.
The result is a precision-crafted chronograph that more than lives up to the Grand Seiko legacy. From the 18K gold Grand Seiko lion emblem found on the watch’s movement to a watch face designed to emulate the rugged texture of snow-capped mountains of Shinshu, Japan, where its Spring Drive and quartz watches are made, there is no shortage of small yet noteworthy details that come together to make the Grand Seiko Chronograph 15th Anniversary Limited Edition a truly remarkable timepiece.
