Model Background
The 4522-8000 belongs to Grand Seiko’s highly regarded 45GS family. It is powered by a hand-wound movement operating at 36,000 beats per hour, making it one of Grand Seiko’s early hi-beat mechanical watches.
The caliber 4522 is the date-equipped version of the 45GS movement, while the 4520 is the corresponding no-date caliber. The reference is also known for its sharply faceted case, broad polished surfaces, and compact proportions characteristic of Grand Seiko’s late-1960s design language.
