Whether you own a luxury watch or not, I'm sure everyone has wondered at least once, "Which models are popular?" While everyone has their own motivations, such as "I want a popular, classic model!" or "I want a model that no one else has!", it's difficult to know which models are actually popular unless you get real-time information.

So, this time, we will be revealing the top 5 Grand Seiko models, which boast overwhelming popularity, that are being handled by Commit Ginza (hereafter referred to as our store) in the second half of 2025! Please enjoy reading and imagining the rankings together with us.

5th place

Disney 100 Limited Edition "Ref. SLGH025"

In fifth place is the Disney 100 Limited Edition (Ref. SLGH025), a limited edition model of 100 pieces that was released to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Disney's founding and was only available at Grand Seiko Boutique Online.

This watch, based on the "Ref. SLGH011," is most notable for its Mickey illustration engraved on the case back. At first glance, it may look identical to the "Ref. SLGH011," but the back of the case features a "hidden Mickey" design, with his back turned to reveal his profile. Of course, the watch's design and functionality are impeccable. This is a special watch that combines the delicate finish you expect from Grand Seiko with the special touch of a Disney collaboration.

4th place

Heritage Collection Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 Ginza Limited Edition Model "Ref. SBGH317"

In fourth place is the Heritage Collection Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 Ginza Limited Model "Ref. SBGH317," a 2024 model released exclusively in Ginza that beautifully captures the twilight of dawn.

The dial, featuring the "Ginza grid pattern" design unique to the Ginza limited edition model, expresses in light purple the unique atmosphere of Ginza, enveloped in the dry winter air, as the cityscape quietly emerges at dawn. It is no exaggeration to say that the way it reflects and shines irregularly depending on the angle of the light is truly a work of art. Another key feature is the bezel-less structure and the sharp, edgy case created by Zaratsu polishing, making it elegant and smart to wear.

3rd place

Evolution 9 Birch "Ref.SLGH005"

Coming in third place is the "Evolution 9 Birch" "Ref. SLGH005," which features a dial that expresses the strength of birch.

The birch dial, in a silver color that matches the stainless steel case and bracelet, creates a subtle yet elegant impression, making it suitable for both formal and casual wear. The Cal. 9SA5 movement boasts a high beat rate of 36,000 vibrations per hour and an approximately 80-hour power reserve. Its unique horizontal gear train structure allows for a slim case, resulting in a sleek finish that feels incredibly comfortable on the wrist. In addition to its beautiful design, this watch is also highly functional and practical.

If you are looking for a model with a birch dial, we recommend that you first compare it with the "Ref. SLGA009" before purchasing.

2nd place

Heritage Collection Spring Drive 5 Days Limited Edition "Ref. SLGA032 "

Coming in second place is the Heritage Collection Spring Drive 5 Days Limited Edition "Ref. SLGA032," which features a dial that expresses the strength of birch.

This is an extremely rare watch; only 20 of the 50 limited editions produced at Grand Seiko's 2025 Special Selection will be sold this year. It features an 18KPG (pink gold) case and bracelet, a beautifully embossed blue-gray dial with a nature motif, and a high-quality finish that highlights the Zaratsu polishing. The Spring Drive "Cal. 9RA2" movement boasts a power reserve of approximately five days, adding to the special appeal of this limited edition model. This is a rare and rare piece, so if you're looking for a unique watch, we recommend you snap it up as soon as you see it.

1st place

"Heritage Collection 36000 Ginza Limited Edition" "Ref. SBGH297"

Coming in first place is the "Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000" "Ref. SBGH297," which was sold in a limited run of 260 units at five stores in the Ginza area in 2022.

This watch features a vibrant sky blue dial reminiscent of Ginza in the afternoon, and the grid pattern on the dial (Ginza grid pattern) represents the Ginza cityscape, with its unique intersecting streets. Not only is the design beautiful, it is also extremely functional, equipped with the mechanical movement "Cal. 9S85" that vibrates at 10 vibrations per second, assembled by skilled artisans at Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi. Its attractive design means that it is a model that many people are still searching for .
