This 2017, Grand Seiko, the emblematic model of the Japanese house, has further increased the brand's appeal by presenting theSeiko Black Ceramic collection, which enters the area of sports design. To the trend started by the four Spring Drive watches presented in 2016, three new creations have been added, all with the same sporty design and a surprising new hybrid titanium-ceramic combination bracelet. In this new series, the dial design is more impressive as it bears the Grand Seiko logo at the eleven o'clock position.
The new design of theSeiko Black Ceramic collectionIt retains the essential characteristics that have made Grand Seiko a world reference: precision, legibility, comfort and durability. Not in vain, the Spring Drive is considered the most precise luxury chronograph in the world, offering an accuracy of one second per day or, in the case of the Limited Edition model, ten seconds per month.
The legibility of its dial is guaranteed thanks to the diamond-cut hands and hour markers, the long GMT and minute hands, and the application of LumiBrite on both the hands and markers.
With the hybrid of titanium and ceramic, a model has been achieved whose case and bracelet are incredibly light and offer great scratch-proof durability. The complex process of polishing and mirror finishing of the pieces gives thisSeiko Black Ceramic collectionof spectacular clarity.
The limited edition in commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the Spring Drive GMT Chronograph, the star of the collection
EstaSeiko Black Ceramic collectionIt is made up of three versions, and the Limited Edition, created to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Spring Drive GMT caliber chronograph, is the jewel in the crown. With a renewed design and functions, it features a tachymeter bezel and also a 9R96 caliber that has been specially regulated for greater precision.
The aesthetic details have also been taken care of: the blue Grand Seiko matches the rose gold tone of the hands and hour markers for the first time, and the oscillating weight bears the Grand Seiko lion symbol in 18K gold to emphasize greater precision. The 18k rose gold Grand Seiko logo also adorns the buckle.
In short, a sports-inspired collection that does not renounce the most beautiful aesthetics of fine watchmaking. A pleasure for the wrist.
