Purchasing products online has become commonplace these days. Luxury watches are no exception. At our store, many customers search for information published on our website (hereafter referred to as HP) before coming to the store, and many also purchase directly online. In fact, products with a high number of hits are almost always sold immediately. This is why the number of HP hits is an important indicator for measuring the attention and popularity of a product in the market.
Therefore, we would like to introduce the top five most popular models for the past six months, by brand, over multiple installments. We hope that you will pay attention to this ranking and use it as a tool to identify models that are in high demand.
This time, we will be focusing on Grand Seiko, a watch brand that Japan is proud of around the world, and introducing their models! Please enjoy until the end.
5th place
Heritage Collection 45GS Reissue Design Limited Edition Model "Ref. SLGW005"
Coming in fifth place is the "Heritage Collection 45GS Reissue Design Limited Edition Model" "Ref. SLGW005," a reproduction of the hand-wound mechanical watch "45GS" released in 1968 .
This popular model, featuring the original 1968 design with the "SEIKO" logo at 12 o'clock, the "GS" and "Dai-ni Seikosha" logos at 6 o'clock, "HI-BEAT," and a "36,000 vibrations per hour" display, was limited to 1,200 pieces worldwide (425 of which were sold in Japan) and sold out. The flat surface, mirror finish, and distinctively edgy case sides faithfully reproduce the "light and shadow" of the Grand Seiko style using modern technology, resulting in a finish that highlights the unique beauty of a Japanese brand that is not found in overseas brands. Just owning this classic and sleek watch will elevate your look and make you stand out as a uniquely sophisticated adult.
4th place
Masterpiece Collection 9R Spring Drive 8 Days "Ref. SBGD202"
Coming in fourth place is the Masterpiece Collection 9R Spring Drive 8 Days "Ref. SBGD202," which features a stardust dial reminiscent of a starry sky.
The gorgeous 18KPG (pink gold) case is paired with a " Stardust Dial," an evolution of the special "Diamond Dust Dial" technique used in the PT (platinum) model. Not only is the design beautiful, but the functionality is also impressive, featuring the new manual-winding Spring Drive movement, "Cal. 9R01," which has a long power reserve of eight days. While this watch is rarely available on the market, we highly recommend experiencing its beauty for yourself.
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 36000 Ginza Limited Edition" "Ref. SBGH297"
In second place is the Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 (Ref. SBGH297), which was sold in 2022 in a limited run of 260 pieces at five stores in the Ginza area.
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.
1st place
Heritage Collection Spring Drive 5 Days Limited Edition "Ref. SLGA032 "
Taking the honorable first 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.
