Grand Seiko
44GS, 1967
Why It Matters
The 1967 44GS established design principles that became central to Grand Seiko, including sharply defined case planes and light-catching hands and markers. The ref. 4420-9000 is an original expression of that design. Its significance is historical as well as visual; case preservation matters when evaluating the surfaces that define it.
