Grand Seiko Heritage

Authorized Grand Seiko Retailer in Canada

Overview

The Grand Seiko Heritage Collection is, in Grand Seiko's words, the very heart of the brand: classic watches that bring back the designs of the earliest Grand Seiko, including the 44GS and 62GS from 1967, re-interpreted with the latest movements, manufacturing techniques and craftsmanship. La Maison Monaco, an authorized Grand Seiko dealer in Canada, lists 15 Heritage watches from $3,300 to $10,500 CAD, each ordered in from Grand Seiko for you: 6 men's watches (40 to 41 mm), 4 unisex watches (37 to 38 mm) and 5 women's watches (28.9 to 32.3 mm), in Spring Drive, Hi-Beat 36000 mechanical, automatic and quartz.

Which Grand Seiko Heritage watch should I choose?

Choose by size first. The men's watches (6, $3,800 to $9,400) are 40 to 41 mm, the unisex watches (4, $5,500 to $10,500) are 37 to 38 mm, and the women's watches (5, $3,300 to $8,900) are 28.9 to 32.3 mm. For the famous Snowflake dial, a pattern inspired by wind-carved snow on the Hotaka mountains, choose the SBGA211 (Spring Drive, 41 mm, $9,000), the SBGX355 (quartz, 37 mm, $5,500) or the STGF359 (quartz, 28.9 mm, $3,300). For the 62GS look, the SBGH341 (Hi-Beat 36000, 38 mm, $10,500) is the one, and the Hana-Ikada SBGX363 and SBGX365 (32.3 mm, $4,700) bring cherry blossoms floating on a river to the wrist.

What movement is in a Grand Seiko Heritage watch?

Four families. Spring Drive (4 watches, $7,300 to $9,400) uses the Caliber 9R65, with a gliding seconds hand, about 72 hours of power reserve and accuracy of ±15 seconds per month. Hi-Beat 36000 (3 watches, $9,400 to $10,500, 37 to 38 mm) uses the mechanical Caliber 9S85, which beats 10 times per second, with about 55 hours of power reserve. The two 62GS 30 mm watches (STGK031 and STGK033, $8,900) use the automatic Caliber 9S27, with about 50 hours of power reserve. Quartz (6 watches, $3,300 to $5,500) uses Grand Seiko's own calibres, such as the 9F85, 9F51 and 4J52, accurate to ±10 seconds per year. Every Heritage watch is water resistant to 100 m.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Grand Seiko Heritage watch in Canada?

What do Snowflake, Taisetsu and Hana-Ikada mean on a Grand Seiko dial?

They are dial designs drawn from Japan's seasons. Snowflake recreates the patterns the wind carves in the snow of the Hotaka mountains, seen from the Shinshu Watch Studio. Taisetsu (SBGA415) is the deep snow that covers Shinshu around the seasonal period of that name. Hana-Ikada, meaning flower rafts, is the sight of cherry blossom petals drifting across a river just after the spring equinox.

What is the difference between Spring Drive, mechanical and quartz?

A quartz Grand Seiko runs on a battery and is accurate to ±10 seconds per year. A mechanical watch such as the Hi-Beat 36000 is wound by the motion of your wrist and by hand. Spring Drive is also wound by your wrist, but its seconds hand glides instead of ticking, and it is accurate to ±15 seconds per month. All three are in the Heritage Collection.

What sizes does the Grand Seiko Heritage Collection come in?

Men's watches are 40 to 41 mm, unisex watches 37 to 38 mm and women's watches 28.9 to 32.3 mm. The Snowflake alone comes in three sizes: 41 mm (SBGA211), 37 mm (SBGX355) and 28.9 mm (STGF359). Each product page shows the exact case size.
