Grand Seiko re-edition among the world's best watches

The Watchstars awards crowned the re-edition of the first-ever Grand Seiko watch in the "Classic Stars" category of its 2017/18 awards.

The Watchstars Awards are presented every year by an international jury that consists of watch industry experts. The independent awards are now in their fourth year and honour "the best watches of the world"’ in five different categories. The Watchstars jury consists of some of the most experienced watch specialists around the world, including highly respected collectors and journalists. Unlike some other watch awards, the jury nominates and votes for the candidate watches and the winners.

The Classic Stars category is for three-handed watches with no functions other than a date and/or power reserve indicator. The jury voted the re-edition of the first Grand Seiko watch as the winner in the 2017/18 awards because of “The state of the art vision of the Grand Seiko concept and its wonderful aesthetics and movement. It's the perfect example of how a re-edition should be.”
