Nowadays, purchasing products online has become commonplace. 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 customers purchase directly online. In fact, products with a high 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 for the past six months by brand in multiple posts. We hope that you will pay attention to this ranking and use it as an insight to identify models with high actual demand.

5th Place
"Evolution 9 Collection"
"Ref.SLGH011 "

In fifth place is the "Evolution 9 Collection" "Ref. SLGH011," which was sold in 2022 as a Grand Seiko Boutique Online exclusive model.

The combination of the rugged case and bracelet with the deep green dial is eye-catching, and the birch forest is expressed on the green dial with dynamic embossing and delicate coloring. From the see-through back, you can enjoy the movement "Cal.9SA5" with "Shizukuishi River Finish" featuring a delicate striped pattern that evokes the seasonal changes of the Shizukuishi River. Whether you look at it from the front or back, you can enjoy the delicate finish that is unique to Grand Seiko, making it a truly exquisite piece.

4th Place
"Elegance Collection Grand Seiko 60th Anniversary Model"
"Ref.SBGW263 "

In fourth place is the " Elegance Collection Grand Seiko 60th Anniversary Model " " Ref. SBGW263 ," which was released in July 2020 as a boutique exclusive and is limited to 20 pieces worldwide .

The delicately engraved dial was carved by Kiyoshi Terui, a master craftsman of the modern era, and expresses the "scene of a drop of water dripping and hitting a stone." The watch is made of three separate pieces of 18KWG (white gold), and the patterns engraved on the hour and minute hands represent dripping water, while the index represents water splashing on a stone. The movement is equipped with the Cal.9S64, which has a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, and its performance is just as impressive as its gorgeous design. It is truly a masterpiece that can be called a work of art.

3rd Place
"Heritage Collection Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 Ginza Limited Model 2023"
"Ref.SBGH315 "

In third place is the "Heritage Collection Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 Ginza Limited Model 2023" "Ref. SBGH315," which was sold as a limited edition model of 400 pieces only at six stores in the Ginza area in 2023 .

The refreshing ultramarine color of this watch, reminiscent of a clear morning in Ginza, catches the eye. When held up to the light, the "Ginza grid pattern" printed transparently over the stamped lattice pattern subtly shines, making it look like a work of art. The movement is equipped with the high-beat mechanical "Cal. 9S85" that vibrates at 10 vibrations per second and boasts a power reserve of approximately 55 hours, assembled by skilled craftsmen at "Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi." The Ginza limited edition model, which attracts attention every year, is sure to have a great price movement in the future.

2nd Place
"Disney 100 Limited Edition"
"Ref.SLGH025 "

In second 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 was created based on the Ref. SLGH011, which was ranked 5th, and its biggest feature is the illustration of Mickey Mouse engraved on the back cover. At first glance, you might think that the design is no different from the Ref. SLGH011, but the back of the case features Mickey Mouse with his back turned to reveal his profile, which may embody the so-called "hidden Mickey". Of course, the watch's original design and functionality are impeccable. This is a special watch that combines the delicate finish that is unique to Grand Seiko with the special feeling of a Disney collaboration.

1st Place
"Disney 100 Limited Edition"
"Ref.SLGH023 "

Taking the honorable first place is the “Disney 100 Limited Edition” “Ref. SLGH023,” a limited edition model of 100 pieces that was released to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Disney’s founding and was only available at the Grand Seiko Flagship Boutique Ginza .

This watch, which was released at the same time as the Ref.SLGH025, which ranked second, features Mickey Mouse on the back cover of the Ref.SLGH005, the representative model of the Evolution 9 Collection, designed with the image of a birch forest. Another point is that this Mickey Mouse is facing forward, making the design different. By the way, the Ref.SLGH005, which is the basis of the design, is a watch that has been recognized worldwide, having been selected from over 7,900 products from 60 countries around the world to win the highest award at the Red Dot Design Award in 2022. It will be exciting to see how this watch will be evaluated in the secondary market due to the synergistic effect of this beauty and the Disney collaboration.

What did you think.

The rankings were made up of limited edition special edition models, all of which were wonderfully produced without compromising the beauty of Grand Seiko, but rather enhancing it. However, as Grand Seiko has been gaining attention from around the world in recent years, it seems to be becoming harder to obtain even in the secondary market. Prices are expected to rise in the future, so if you're interested, it might be a good idea to get your hands on one soon.

We hope that this article will be helpful for your buying and selling. Please look forward to the next access ranking!
