In this model that adjustment is to a level of accuracy of ±5 seconds a year, a level of precision marked by the five-pointed star at the six o’clock position. The more contemporary case design features a thin bezel and a curved case side to reflect more light. The seconds hand is red. The watch is available as a limited edition of 2,500 ($3,800). 56 | INTERNATIONAL WATCH | SPRING 2020 Grand Seiko Sport Collection Quartz Limited Edition The new Grand Seiko sports design features a ceramic bezel.
