Two new models, styled after the iconic 44GS from 1967 and a symbol of elegance Grand SeikoThey introduce two brand new dials inspired by typical Japanese folding fans.
An expression of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, the so-called kamisen, used in ceremonial events or in arts such as dance, take shape in the sunburst motif that refers to their flat surfaces and straight edges.
It is an art that requires many steps and implies a lot of patience and great precision on the part of the craftsmen. The characteristic shape of these objects manages to create a play of light and shadow that is brought to life in the dials of the two new Heritage 44GS, available in white or blue. In the white dial version, the thermally blued steel seconds hand creates a beautiful visual contrast.
The two Heritage 44GS watches, although linked to tradition, are characterised by a contemporary style. The 36.5 millimetre diameter steel case, water-resistant to 100 metres, is an example of balance and proportions. The craftsmanship is also reflected in the type of finishing, where satin-finished and polished surfaces alternate.
The beating heart of these models is the manual 9S64 calibre, which guarantees up to 72 hours of power reserve and offers an accuracy of +5 to -3 seconds per day. Clasping the steel bracelet to the wrist is a triple folding clasp with a safety button.
