Grand Seiko Heritage 45GS - 1968 Recreation Limited Edition 38.8mm Watch SLGW005

This timepiece is limited to only 1,200 pieces worldwide. This piece is a recreation of the 45GS – Grand Seiko’s first manual-winding timepiece with a 10-beat calibre. The original 45GS, the 4520-8000, was released in November 1968, only one year after the launch of the 44GS which became the blueprint for subsequent Grand Seiko Style. The 45GS was prized for its high precision, regardless of position or external disturbances and, despite its popularity, was no longer made after 1971. Within a recognisable steel 45GS case design is a dial designed with the same off-white colour as the original, accompanied by a crocodile leather strap.
