Two of the anniversary models are automatic watches. One is a men’s watch

notable for its accuracy of +5 to -3 seconds a day and a 55-hour power
reserve. In honor of the 60th anniversary, Grand Seiko adds a gold logo and a

The second automatic model is targeted to women and is powered by
the Caliber 9S27, a Grand Seiko automatic movement specifically designed
for its women’s collection. The watch has a blue mother-of-pearl dial with
diamonds as hour markers. Both these automatic debuts are available as
limited editions; 1,500 for the men’s watch ($6,300) and 300 for the women’s

Grand Seiko has also developed a new quartz caliber to commemorate the
collection’s sixtieth anniversary. Two 40mm watches will utilize the new
caliber. One is sportier than the other and is marked by a blue ceramic bezel
