A great post, our SEIKO Guru!
Credor may sometimes seen as “lower” level brand than GS. But those two were created by completely different concept:
Grand Seiko - The world’s best practical watch.
Credor - The world’s best dress watch.
So, naturally, less mechanical watch (more Spring Drive) than Grand Seiko line, Spring Drive movement and the watches with it in are made in Shiojiri - Seiko EPSON. They seem to have strong “sibling rivalry”..... but fair to say that they fight on the different field.
It’s really up to you and up to the occasion. They are both superb and needless to say, bang for the bucks.
Thanks, Cazalea!

An Introduction to Credor: I am astonished!
Credor is a brand managed by Seiko, using movements and cases created in the usual workshops, using GS techniques but more hand work, more decoration, jewels, cloisonne, enamel, ceramic, maki, and other fine art techiques to "kick it up a few notches" ove...
Wow, I've never seen those neither...
A brand that gets on by without any marketing because it already has enough clients to absorb its production... Oh, and you're one of those culprits who absorb production. You have FIVE Credors! You probably need a garage for your watches now!
A great post, our SEIKO Guru!

I thought Credor strives for High Horology aesthetics.
GS is more for high end tool watches.
That's a good description
We can ponder this a bit more. They are not to everyone's taste, but the multitude of models means someone both Japanese and wealthy must be buying them. Cazalea
Great Article!!
I have always felt that Credor is a VERY underappreciated brand that should have more recognition for all of the beautiful watches it creates. I would love to know more about the brand as it is difficult to get information because it is all in Japanese!! ...
Yes - what a great cavalcade of photos you provided
I think perhaps there are several dozen more models I need to review, but I couldn't get everything into one post, so I will keep working away at Credor. Here's one I used to own, And my Seiko Flightmaster that uses the same 6S37A movement as your Credor....
Love it.
My pick would perhaps be one of the elegant, decorated dials with time-only function. I have to think more of it . Thanks Mike, much appreciated, Filip
Thank you for this great post.
You have a nice collection. Please keep posting about Credor.
Oh most certainly!
This is a morning fantasy post The UTD rectangular is something I have never seen before, for instance and so many others. The more the better
Very nice post especially for those who want to know more about Credor
I like the rectangular ones. Take care Cazalea
Great job!
Thank you for the hard work and thorough research. As a new Credor owner (GCLP993), I found this fascinating. ...
Thanks for such an exposition!
For me ,Credor signifies elegance---that's what brought me my first and only Credor Love it's simplicity And the movement finish ain't too bad Once again,thanks for your comprehensive Credor post. best henry ...
Thank you from a fellow seikoholic!
Credor is my brand of choice when it comes to pure elegance and case finishing. You should really present their latest collections, the Kuon and Goldfeathers as those represent the future of the brand essentially. I was absolutely blown away to smithereen...
