Grand Seiko 61GS 6156-8010 Special Hi-Beat Faceted Crystal White Dial

The Grand Seiko 61GS 6156-8010 from 1970 here is a noteworthy and rare model in the vintage Grand Seiko lineup, distinguished by its "GS Special" designation. This particular model stands out because it features a hardened stainless steel (HSS) case, which is a step above the regular 6156 models.

The watch features a simple yet elegant white dial, adorned with the GS Special emblem. The dial is further enhanced by a three-sided faceted sapphire crystal, which creates unique shapes and shadows when it catches the light, adding a layer of sophistication to the watch’s design.

Measuring 37mm, the case is finished with Grand Seiko's signature Zaratsu polishing technique, which combines polished sides with a brushed pattern on the front lugs. This attention to detail gives the watch a sharp, refined appearance that exemplifies Grand Seiko's commitment to craftsmanship.

The watch is in good condition, with its movement recently serviced, ensuring it runs with good accuracy and power reserve. The faceted sapphire crystal remains clear and sharp, while the case shows some signs of wear, but retains its sharp, unpolished edges, adding character to the piece. The dial is well-preserved, with only slight staining near the edge of the 6 and 9-hour markers, visible only under certain lighting conditions. The original gold medallion on the case back is intact, showing minimal signs of wear.

The Grand Seiko 61GS 6156-8010 is a highly collectible timepiece, especially for GS enthusiasts, due to its rarity and the original faceted sapphire crystal, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
