So this time, we will be revealing the top 5 Grand Seiko models handled by Commit Ginza (hereafter referred to as our store) in the first half of 2025! Please enjoy reading the list while imagining the rankings with us.

5th place

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

In fifth place is the "Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000" "Ref. SBGH297," which was sold in limited quantities of only 260 units at five stores in the Ginza area in 2022.

This model 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". With its attractive design, it is a model that many people are still searching for .

4th place

Heritage Collection Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 Ginza Limited 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 expresses the twilight of dawn.

The dial features the "Ginza grid pattern" design, which is unique to the Ginza limited edition model, and expresses the unique atmosphere of Ginza at dawn, when the city quietly appears in the dry winter air, in light purple. It is no exaggeration to say that the way it shines and reflects irregularly depending on the angle of the light is a work of art. Another key point is that the bezel-less structure and the sharp, sharp-edged case created by Zaratsu polishing make it elegant and smart to wear.

3rd place

Heritage Collection Vernal Equinox Flower Raft "Ref.SBGA443"

In third place is the "Heritage Collection Vernal Equinox Flower Raft" (Ref. SBGA443), a collection line whose dial embodies the fleeting beauty brought about by the changing of the seasons and the 24 solar terms that are unique to Japan.

Originally released as the "Japan Seasons Special Edition" only in the US, this watch has been re-imported and released in Japan since 2022. It features a pale pink dial color that evokes the image of cherry blossom petals dancing on the water, and its elegant color scheme makes it a great choice for business situations or as a shared watch for couples. This watch embodies the Japanese beauty that is characteristic of Grand Seiko.

2nd place

Heritage Collection 45GS Reproduction Design Limited Model "Ref.SLGW005"

Coming in second place is the "Heritage Collection 45GS Reissue Design Limited Model" "Ref. SLGW005," a reproduction model of the "45GS" hand-wound mechanical watch released in 1968 .

This popular model reproduces the design from 1968 with the "SEIKO" logo at the 12 o'clock position, the "GS" and "Dai-ni Seikosha" logos at the 6 o'clock position, "HI-BEAT", and the "36000" vibrations per hour display. It was sold in a limited edition of 1,200 pieces worldwide (425 of which were sold in Japan), and is now sold out. The flat surface, mirror finish and distinctive edgy case sides faithfully reproduce the "light and shadow" of the "Grand Seiko style" using modern technology, resulting in a finish that highlights the beauty unique to domestic brands that is not found in overseas brands. Just by owning this classical and smart watch, you can create a unique adult look.

1st place

Evolution 9 Birch "Ref.SLGH005"

Taking the honorable first place is the "Evolution 9 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 look 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 train structure makes the case slim, giving it a smart finish and making it very comfortable to wear. 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.
