I suppose it seems monotonous to keep hearing just how amazingly high the quality of execution in Grand Seiko watches really is, but it's always remarkable to see it in person and this model is no exception. There are very few watches from any manufacturer that can withstand very close scrutiny of dial furniture through a macro lens but Grand Seiko watches not only acquit themselves well, they actually look better and better the closer you look, which is certainly not usually the case. Here of course, in addition to the beautifully polished hands, diamond-cut indexes, and other customary Grand Seiko details, there's the dial – a very deep sea-green that exhibits subtle shifts in color depending on the light; it can look anything from an iridescent green to almost blue.
