Model: Credor “24/7” GCLH995 Spring Drive / 7R88-0AE0

Year: May 2008

Features:

The Build. The Omiwatari SBGY007 is iconically thin. Conceived as the thinnest Spring Drive in the Grand Seiko catalogue, its 10.2mm profile has seen its popularity only rise since its release in 2021. But the GCLH995 Spring Drive - on offer today - was made by Credor almost two decades ago, and it clocks in at an Omiwatari-beating 9.1mm. 

The Spring Drive. Not only does the absence of a rotor allow the watch to fit a more traditionally dressy profile, it also gives you an unobscured look at the manual wind Spring Drive powering the watch. The 7R88 calibre has been tastefully hand-finished - Geneva stripes run across its chamfered plates, and pinks, yellows and blues add interesting pops of colour. 

The Design. While rippled circles provide a heavily textured backdrop, the dial itself is tonally muted, with the single instance of colour coming from its thermally-blued second hand. But Credor couldn’t resist a thematic flourish. The 2, 4 and 7 - or 24/7 - serve as a poetic reminder of life’s ceaseless flow of time. The never-ending march forward, relying on your ability to make every second count. 

The Finish. As is typical for a Credor, both the case and hands have been Zaratsu polished to perfection. Pleasingly, the 2, 4 and 7 have received the same treatment. Their mirror-like surface allows them to playfully reflect the hands back up at you throughout the day. Something you’ll never get tired of seeing. 

Specifications:

Condition: In very good condition overall. Small hairlines and marks can be seen on the metal case on close inspection. The original strap is not in good condition - it’s technically wearable, but I wouldn’t recommend it as the backing is cracked. An additional leather Seiko strap, of the right dimensions, will be provided.

Scope: No box or papers.

Movement: 7R88 Manual-wind Spring Drive 

Dimensions:

  • Case Width: 38.0mm
  • Lug to Lug: 44.4mm

FAQs

Are your watches authentic?

Everything we sell is 100% authentic.

All of our watches are inspected and verified for authenticity - both inside and out. We have over 15 years of sourcing and collecting rare watches in Japan, which is often considered to be one of the best markets for authentic and fully original vintage watches.

Do you ship globally?

We are based in Japan and regularly ship all over the world. We typically use FedEx and it takes:

  • 3-7 business days to reach North America
  • 3-7 business days to reach Europe
  • 3-7 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.

What condition are your watches?

Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of the watches we typically sell, the condition varies from watch to watch. However, our photos are high resolution and our descriptions are accurate. You can buy with confidence knowing there won't be any nasty surprises.

If the condition of a watch is ever misrepresented, we would offer a full refund.

Are all of your watches serviced?

Most but not all of our watches are serviced. The "Condition" section of each watch will confirm if the watch has been serviced.

All of our watches are tested by an independent watchmaker - if a service is needed, the watch will be serviced. If a service hasn't been conducted, it's because the watch itself is too new to need a service, or there is evidence of a recent service.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept payment by all major Credit Cards and Wise.com

Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage or new), and the import laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

Are your watches water resistant?

Our serviced watches are typically tested to their original water resistant specifications, but we would never recommend pushing vintage or neo-vintage watches to their depth limits.

What is your returns policy?

Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of most of our watches, we do not offer returns under normal circumstances. All sales should be considered final.
