These two Seiko are one of the few beautiful Grand Seiko ever produced during the 1960's till now A total of 81,000 units of Cal.430 and 5722 were produced.
The taiyo is powered by a chronometer (Seiko internal Chronometer declaration) 35 jewels low beat 18,000 bph Cal.430 movement. It is called self-dater because it has quick set date function. Taiyo is the highest quality masterpiece of low beat GS.
Love the quality of movements and the case and back cases.
