The Grand Seiko 62GS Reissue was introduced to mark the 55th anniversary of the Grand Seiko brand, honoring one of the most iconic milestones in Japanese watch history. The original 1967 Grand Seiko 62GS was the first automatic watch by the brand and established the classic Grand Seiko design language.
The modern Grand Seiko 62GS Reissue preserves the historical design while refining proportions and mechanics for today’s collectors. This reissue perfectly blends heritage aesthetics with contemporary functionality, making it a must-have for Grand Seiko enthusiasts.
Grand Seiko 62GS Reissue Design & Case Architecture
The Grand Seiko 62GS Reissue watch faithfully follows the original 1967 design. The sapphire crystal is seamlessly integrated into the case, creating a sleek, flowing profile without a traditional bezel. The hidden crown at 4 o’clock reinforces the automatic-winding concept, while the sharply angled lugs and razor-edged case surfaces are polished with Zaratsu polishing for a flawless mirror-like finish.
Modern Updates for the Grand Seiko 62GS Reissue
This reissue has been subtly updated for modern wearability. The case diameter has increased to 42.5 mm to suit contemporary tastes. The 4 o’clock crown now allows manual winding, enhancing usability without compromising design integrity.
Grand Seiko 62GS Reissue Movement – Caliber 9S65
Powering the Grand Seiko 62GS Reissue is the in-house Caliber 9S65, an automatic movement with a 72-hour power reserve and high accuracy of -3 to +5 seconds per day. This movement exemplifies Grand Seiko’s reputation for mechanical excellence and precision.
