Grand Seiko Heritage ‘Snowfall Mount Iwate’ 44GS Hi-Beat 40mm Watch

This timepiece is part of the Grand Seiko Heritage Collection timepieces which echo historical styles re-interpreted with the very latest movements, manufacturing techniques and craftsmanship. First released in 1967, the 44GS case shape created a visually recognisable ‘Grand Seiko Style’ design for Grand Seiko watches to follow – balancing legibility and light with a clear and calm dial layout. Viewed from the front or side, the blend of sharp angles, brilliant Zaratsu polished surfaces and softly curved lines presents an infinite range of expressions through the interplay of light and shadow. This Hi-Beat watch is powered by the in-house built mechanical Calibre 9S85, with a power reserve of 55 hours, an accuracy rate of +5 to -3 seconds per day. As a true ‘manufacture’ Grand Seiko incorporates the latest in-house technical developments alongside its breadth of craftsmanship in all mechanical movements.
