Grand Seiko Elegance Diamond Ladies STGK011

This ladies diamond Grand Seiko features the new caliber 9S27, which has an operating frequency of 28,800vph and a power reserve of 50 hours, while only being 4.49mm-thick. Its utilization in watches designed for the Grand Seiko elegance collection opens up myriad possibilities. In a true celebration of form, designers at Grand Seiko have allowed their artistic flair to come to the fore with the case design that houses the slender movement. This novel, swooping, and diamond-set form is certainly something new for the brand and strongly diversifies the women’s collection. This watchcase design has its roots in 1967, when the Grand Seiko 62GS made waves with its bold-but-feminine bezel-free case, and so the brand decided to bring it back to life. Lines of diamonds running along either side of the sapphire crystal seem to suspend the dials in mid-air. The diamonds are set into a Zaratsu-polished surface, which, thanks to painstaking hand-finishing, is distortion-free and an excellent foundation for diamonds to shimmer. 0.38 carats shared by 38 stones (19 on each side of the crystal) and a further 0.03 split between the two, slightly larger, diagonally set stones on the dial at 12 o’clock make for an eye-catching timepiece. And the artfulness continues with the execution of the dials. With a choice between a deep, brooding mother of pearl or delicate silver-colored pattern, both dials have their hours marked by applied leaf-shaped indices, polished to the brand’s world-famous standards.
