GRAND SEIKO 62GS

Despite being young and not Swiss, the 56-year-old Grand Seiko has proven that Japanese watchmakers have just as much mechanical mastery. Seiko’s luxury watch collection has always prioritised precision over prettiness, and it’s one of the reasons why the Grand Seiko 62GS, the first self-winding model, with its recessed crown and multi-sided, bezel-less case, became a fan favourite. Seiko released the Historical Collection last year, which features limited editions modelled after the 62GS but with updated movements. (Price unavailable)
