Simplicity and elegance. What makes some of them so interesting are the movements inside. In particular, there are models with Seiko Spring Drive Movements, which combine elements of mechanical and quartz watches, and a few models with a Hi-Beat mechanical movement. A Hi-Beat movement is simply a movement that "beats" at 36,000 BPH, which translates to 10 ticks per second, or an incredibly smoothly gliding seconds hand. There are only a few brands in the world with Hi-Beat movements, most notably Zenith, making them rare and desirable. While the Seiko Spring Drive actually has an 100% smooth glide, the allure of a Hi-Beat mechanical wins out for me. Of course, the movement is also highly finished, expertly crafted and tested. Grand Seikos are not to be confused with other mass-produced Seiko watches, they are designed and built to contend with the best watches in the world.
