Much has been said about early GS, their quest to visually differentiate from classic Swiss styling and beat the Swiss in chronometry trials (which they did spectacularly, earning a ban from competing again). Designer Taro Tanaka’s “Grammar of Design” (the design principles on full display here) formed the basis of a uniquely Japanese aesthetic, paving the way for all Grand Seikos to come. This is my fav G.O.D. case, in a lovely 36mm and one of the thinnest GS ever. Add to that GS’s first high-beat manual movement, a calibre so beautiful, adjustable and reliable it became the platform for the legendary GS VFAs. This no-date variant offers perfect symmetry and restraint to let the Zaratsu-polished, black-inlaid indices pop. The result is a beautifully unique, collectible, and high-performance vintage GS that feels more metal origami than a watch. With many extras (see below) to serve its new collector well into the future.
