Jay (Eire) showcases a modern Grand Seiko reissue, celebrating the design legacy of the brand's first automatic wristwatch, the 1967 62GS. This post highlights the distinctive case features that set this reissue apart, offering a collector's perspective on its historical significance and contemporary appeal.
My only modern Grand Seiko, which of course just happens to be a reissue of a vintage GS.
This one, released about a decade or so ago, honors GSโs first automatic wristwatch (the 62GS) which was launched in 1967.
Key design features of this one, versus other GS of the 60s and early 70s, are the crown at 4, the lack of a bezel and some pretty nice facets on the lugs.
This modern version is also a little bit bigger, I think the case is 37.5mm (donโt quote me) versus the original with was 36.5mm or so.
Itโs also polished like it should for a GS, and takes the light very beautifully.
In my opinion some of the best modern GS are more directly inspired by, or are direct reissues of, vintage watches.
could you remind us of the reference ?
