【1971 - 56GS】Grand Seiko Hi-Beat – Ref. 5645-7000 Overhauled
【Product Features】
This is a 1971 "56GS (56 Grand Seiko)".
It is known as the last automatic winding series in the history of vintage Grand Seiko, which dates back to the 1960s.
It features a sharp case design that inherited the "Seiko Style" and a high-precision hi-beat movement (28,800 vibrations). The beautiful patina on the dial, which has appeared after 50 years, tells the unique history of this particular timepiece.
【Operation Checked & Cleaned】
When acquired, this watch had insufficient amplitude and a faulty date change.
It has been repaired and overhauled in-house. Gaskets have been replaced.
To ensure our customers can use it with peace of mind, we have conducted a 48-hour operation check and cleaned it before listing.
Timegrapher measurements show a **daily rate of -12 to -17 seconds and an amplitude of 283 degrees**, maintaining extremely stable accuracy for a timepiece that is half a century old.
