Cazalea's 2015 press release overview for Grand Seiko's 62GS collection remains highly relevant for understanding the brand's strategic direction. This post highlights Seiko's dual approach to heritage, offering both faithful re-creations and modern re-interpretations of a classic design. It provides crucial context for how Grand Seiko balances its storied past with contemporary horological advancements.

Grand Seikos for 2015

A faithful re-creation or a modern re-interpretation? It’s your choice.

There are eight references in the new 62GS collection. Four are faithful re-creations of the 1967 original with an automatic caliber and four are modern re-interpretations featuring Grand Seiko’s High Beat and Spring Drive movements. All are limited editions.

Caliber 9S65 drives the 4 re-creation models. One is in steel and the others are in different shades of 18K gold. The lion emblem on the case back, the dial layout, the distinctive hour markers and the dial logotypes (notably “Diashock”) are all inherited from the original 62GS. The dial color of the steel case model is also faithful to the original dial. 

The hi-beat 36,000 caliber is in two of the modern steel-cased versions, while the the Spring Drive caliber fills cases of high-intensity titanium. In these modern versions, the case diameter is wider, there is a see-through case back and the bracelets are metal, in line with today’s tastes.

About the Seiko Ref. SBGR095

The Grand Seiko SBGR095 is a limited edition re-interpretation from the 2015 Historical Collection, commemorating the 55th anniversary of Grand Seiko. It pays tribute to the original 62GS, which was Grand Seiko's first automatic watch introduced in 1967. This modern iteration updates the classic design while maintaining key aesthetic elements of its predecessor.

The SBGR095 features a stainless steel case with a diameter of 37.6mm and a thickness of 12.9mm. It is powered by the automatic Grand Seiko Caliber 9S65, which operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. The watch is fitted with a box-shaped sapphire crystal and has a water resistance of 100 meters.

This reference is significant for collectors as it represents a contemporary homage to a pivotal model in Grand Seiko's history. Its limited production and faithful yet modernized design make it a sought-after piece for those appreciating both vintage inspiration and modern Grand Seiko manufacturing standards.
