A Grand Seiko 62GS, reference 6246-9001, in steel with a silver dial and a day and date window, made in 1967 and overhauled in Japan before sale.
The Piece
Grand Seiko was founded in 1960 as Seiko's finest line, made to rival the best Swiss chronometers, and the 62GS of 1967 was Grand Seiko's first automatic model. The later 61GS introduced the automatic 36,000-vibrations-per-hour movement in 1968.
The reference 6246-9001 pairs a silver dial and faceted markers with a day and date window at three o'clock. The dial has aged evenly, and the sharp, flat-polished steel case follows the Seiko style of the period.
The case measures approximately 36 mm (1.42 in) across, excluding the crown, and holds the automatic calibre 6246. This example dates from 1967. It was overhauled in Japan before sale and is shown on a black leather strap, with the medallion case back and the movement photographed.
