The Grand Seiko 61GS, the flagship model, made its debut in 1968 and continued until 1975. Produced at Grand Seiko's Suwa facility, the 61GS replaced the 62GS and featured the self-winding, high-beat Grand Seiko 6100 series movement.
The Grand Seiko 6146-8000 is a fine example of a Grand Seiko watch that embodies Taro Tanaka's Grammar of Design principles, which are still applied by Grand Seiko today, over 50 years later.
The 6146 movement runs at a high-beat 36,000 beats per hour, 10 beats per second, or 5 Hz. It is self-winding with the ability to be hand-wound and includes a quickset date feature.
This 61GS from 1969 is a simple yet stunning example of a vintage Grand Seiko timepiece. Great design, outstanding craftsmanship, and expert-level finishing come together to create a wristwatch that exudes high quality in both hand and on the wrist. Its high-beat movement is a feature not found in all vintage Grand Seikos.
The 6146-8000 here comes in its all-original head condition and crystal, showcasing the dial, hands, and indices, all in very good condition with no visible signs of wear. The case has light hairline scratches but maintains the sharp lines and edges from Taro Tanaka's principles, along with a well-preserved gold medallion caseback.
The movement has been recently serviced and runs with good accuracy of +/- 10 seconds per day. With its overall great condition, this watch is ready to be added to your vintage watch collection, offering a valuable appreciation of vintage Grand Seiko timepieces.
