The case for it

Long power reserve, low-profile Spring Drive architecture and high case finishing create a substantive modern flagship.

What goes wrong

Dial-specific demand, polished surface condition, complete bracelet and slower transaction depth require a keeper mindset.

Who it fits

Best for someone who wants a modern Grand Seiko flagship and plans to own it long enough for the craft to matter.
