1968 Seiko Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 Manual 4520-8000
Here we have a classic 1968 Seiko Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 Manual 4520-8000 with a 36mm stainless steel case. The case gently curves over your wrist with stubby lugs, and a lug-to-lug length of 41.5mm and a thickness of 8.5mm ensures a comfortable fit. The case flanks flow effortlessly, with chamfered edges and crisp lines still evident along the lug edges. On the right side is a signed crown. The bezel is recessed into the case for a distinctive profile, with the crystal sitting proud of the dial. The off-white dial has applied facet-edged batons marking the hours that catch the light as you rotate your wrist. Elegant, slender dauphine hands with polished edges are complemented by a tapered second hand. At noon, an applied “Seiko”; at 6 o’clock, an applied “GS” with “Hi-Beat 36000” printed in black text. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the details of the watch inside the Seiko horseshoe and the Grand Seiko gold medallion embossed in the centre, inside a high-beat manually wound Grand Seiko Cal. 4520A, 25 jewels, beating at 36,000 Beats per hour. This quality “no-date” movement was made at the Daini Seikosha factory between 1968 and 1972, it is much more elegant and has a thinner profile than the Suwa automatic movement of the same time period. The watch comes paired with an 18mm leather strap and pin buckle.
