Nowadays, purchasing products online has become commonplace. Luxury watches are no exception. At our store, many customers come to the store after searching for information published on our website (hereafter referred to as HP) in advance, and many customers purchase directly online. In addition, products that have a large number of hits are almost always sold immediately. For this reason, 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 5 most accessed products by brand in the past year in multiple installments. We hope that the results of this ranking will help you identify models with high actual demand.

This is the ninth installment, and we will be focusing on Grand Seiko models! Please join us in making your predictions and enjoy watching until the end.

5th place: "Heritage Collection" "Ref.SBGP017 "

In fifth place is the Heritage Collection Ref. SBGP017, which was released in 2022 as a 55th anniversary model of the Heritage Collection 44GS.

The dial, which depicts the beautiful light blue "sea of ​​clouds" seen from the top of a mountain on a sunny day, is the most distinctive feature of this watch. Combined with the rugged case and bracelet, it has a sporty yet elegant design. The star placed at the 6 o'clock position as an accent is not just a design feature, but is also called the "Five-Pointed Star" and is proof that the watch is equipped with a special movement that achieves an annual accuracy of ±5 seconds. The high-precision quartz movement "Cal.9F85" installed in this watch also has a "time difference correction function" that allows time difference correction without stopping the second hand, so there is nothing to complain about in terms of performance. With a wide bracelet and a case designed to fit comfortably on the wrist, this watch is easy to use and has excellent fit and functionality.

4th Place
"Evolution 9 Birch" "Ref.SLGH005 "

Coming in fourth place is the "Heritage Collection Birch" Ref. SLGH005, which features a dial that expresses the strength of birch.

The birch dial is in the same silver color as the stainless steel case and bracelet, giving it an elegant impression without being too bold, making it easy to use both on and off the job. The movement " Cal.9SA5 " boasts a power reserve of approximately 80 hours despite its high beat of 36,000 vibrations per hour, and its unique horizontal gear train structure makes the case slim, giving it a smart finish and making it very comfortable to wear on the wrist. In addition to its beautiful design, this watch is also highly functional and practical.

3rd Place
"Heritage Collection" Wako 75th Anniversary Limited Edition "Ref.SBGE289 "

Coming in third place is the Heritage Collection Wako 75th Anniversary Limited Edition "Ref. SBGE289," with its beautiful sky blue, misorairo dial.

This new model for 2022 features a dial in the traditional Japanese color "Misorairo," with a stamped pattern of scale clouds , which are said to symbolize the arrival of autumn. The Spring Drive "Cal. 9R66," which can be described as a hybrid of mechanical and quartz, can be viewed in motion through the skeleton back. This special model commemorating Wako's 75th anniversary is also full of subtle playfulness, with the "7" and "5" in the 24-hour display on the outer edge of the index written in pink, making it a must-have for fans.

2nd Place
"Heritage Collection Water Surface" "Ref.SLGA007 "

In second place is the Heritage Collection Water Surface "Ref. SLGA007," a limited edition model of 2,021 pieces released in 2021 to commemorate the 140th anniversary of Seiko's founding.

The beautiful "Minamo Blue" dial, which expresses the calm surface of Lake Suwa, features the Grand Seiko logo and second hand in 18KYG (yellow gold), creating the glow of the morning sun. The movement is equipped with the latest Spring Drive "Cal.9RA2", which boasts a power reserve of approximately 120 hours, and is packed with the brand's unique technical capabilities and beauty. The new model for 2023 is the "Ref. SLGA021 ", which features a dark blue dial that expresses the water surface before dawn. If you are looking for a model with a calm impression, we recommend that model, and if you are looking for a model with a refreshing impression, we recommend the "Ref.SLGA007" introduced this time.

1st Place
"Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000" "Ref.SBGH297 "

Taking the honorable 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) expresses the Ginza cityscape where unique streets intersect. Not only is the design beautiful, but it is also extremely functional, equipped with the mechanical movement "Cal. 9S85" that vibrates 10 times per second, assembled by skilled craftsmen at "Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi". The combination of the attractive design and the low sales volume make this a rare watch that is still hard to find.
