Hi-beat precision with golden spring elegance

Grand Seiko’s first automatic watch, the 62GS, was introduced in 1967. Its most distinctive feature is almost certainly its bezel-less structure, in which the glass is directly fixed to the case body. This design reduces the visual thickness of the watch while allowing light to enter the dial from multiple angles. This model inherits the bezel-less structure and other design elements of the original 62GS from 1967, while refining aspects such as wearability and crown operability to achieve a more contemporary design.

The dial’s elegant pattern evokes “Sakura-wakaba,’ the budding green leaves that appear amongst the falling cherry blossoms as spring begins to pass into summer. The appearance of the dial changes according to the angle and amount of light, enhancing the moment when one glances at the watch. The light-green pattern is imbued with a subtle yellow hue, which harmonizes perfectly with the 18-karat yellow gold case to further emphasize an ephemeral moment in nature.
