Seiko GCBE993
The Credor Signo GCBE993 is an elegant manual wind dress watch introduced in 2018. It features an exquisite black dial crafted using traditional Japanese techniques, combining Urushi lacquer, Maki-e, and Raden. The sub-seconds dial at six o'clock is decorated with scattered pieces of mother of pearl, evoking a starry night sky. The twelve, three, and nine o'clock indices are also made of Raden, while the remaining markers are painted in platinum-powdered Maki-e. Inside the 37mm stainless steel case beats the ultra-thin hand-wound caliber 6898, allowing the watch to measure just 6.5mm thick. This model showcases Seiko's dedication to combining high watchmaking with traditional Japanese artistry.
