Model: Credor “Flowing Water” GBBE990

Year: February 2002

Limited Edition: 50 pieces

Features:

The Theme. As many of you will know, neo-vintage Credors often highlight the 2, 4, and 7-hour markers. These are designed to serve as a quiet reminder - the importance of making every second count in your own 24/7. And the 2002-produced GBBE990 is no exception, although it's message is presently subtly. The dial represents the ceaseless flow of time, and is a unique design element I haven’t seen Credor use before or since. 

The Case. The solid 18kt gold case features an unusual hinge mechanism that keeps the exhibition caseback hidden. The full perlage finishing on the caseback's underside is an entrancing touch - delivering its hypnotic beauty whenever you flip open the door.

The Engraving. Kiyoshi Terui, Seiko's master engraver, delights with another beautifully ornate 68 calibre engraving. The “flow of time” motif extends to the movement, and in a more direct manner. Tilt the watch in your hands and light darts across the sharp edges of Terui’s river, rippling like a gentle current, bringing the scene to life. 

The Movement. At just 1.98mm thick, the 6898 movement is the thinnest mechanical calibre ever produced by Seiko. Each one takes two highly skilled Credor watchmakers half a day to assemble.
