This model is renowned as Grand Seiko's first hand-wound hi-beat model. The Cal.4520 movement boasts a 36,000 vibrations per hour hi-beat. It is still highly regarded as a masterpiece from the Daini Seikosha, which later led to the VFA.

The Grand Seiko hi-beat models, introduced in 1968, were developed during a time when Grand Seiko was competing in accuracy with high-end Swiss watches. The movement in this particular model achieves 36,000 vibrations per hour, and the hand-wound, non-date specification is particularly rare in circulation, making it highly valued by collectors today. Its simplicity highlights the movement's performance and the beauty of its exterior, making it a highly refined timepiece. Furthermore, this is a rare individual piece with a cap gold specification.
