Grand Seiko Heritage Collection Hi-Beat 44GS 55th Anniversary LE SLGH009 'Orbit'
Grand Seiko Heritage Collection Hi-Beat 44GS 55th Anniversary LE SLGH009 'Orbit'
Released in 2022 to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the 44GS case, the SLGH009 is also the first watch to feature the new Ever-Brilliant steel. This hard-wearing alloy is hailed as the worlds most corrosion resistant steel, and features a whiter colouring than usually seen in steel, something more along the lines of white gold, which helps accentuate the beauty of the 44GS case.
Housed within this 40mm Ever-Brilliant steel case is a gorgeous 'Orbit' dial which is a deeply etched pattern created to evoke the movement of stars in the galaxy, and signifies the passing of time. It's extremely difficult to photograph as it's very dark and not unlike the 'Rock' dial, but get it into natural light and it is simply spectacular.
Powering it is the new 9SA5 Hi-Beat movement with 80 hour power reserve, and allows for a thickness of 11.7mm even with automatic winding. Finishing levels on the movement are now even better, and the skeletonization of the rotor allows for a better view.
This particular example was sold new in the Grand Seiko Boutique in Feb 2022 and presents in TZ Near Mint condition. Has a couple of tiny hairlines present on the polished surfaces, but that's it. Please see images for full condition details.
Bracelet has been sized, and includes all links.
Comes with outer box, inner box, warranty booklet dated Feb 2022, GS inspection certificate, instruction booklet, hang tag and spare links to complete the bracelet.
