Model: Seiko Credor GCLL999 / 5R77-0AA0

Year: February 2006

Features:

The Design. Blue and silver. It’s practically a cheat code for creating a sleek and distinguished watch. Add a mother-of-pearl Moonphase indicator and the smooth sweep of a Spring Drive, and you've got an archetypal neo-vintage Credor.

The Dial. The façade of the watch is impressively texture-forward. The entire dial carries a blue sunburst finish, while four hand-polished indices sit atop a raised outer ridge. The central subsection houses the applied yama (山) crest and a power-reserve indicator that straddles both levels. 

The Moon. The moonphase indicator is double-recessed and framed by a metal trim - not the sort of detail you’ll notice until it twinkles at you in the sunlight. Thanks to the mother-of-pearl disc, the moon shifts between silver, green, blue, and purple based on your viewing angle. 

The Complication. Despite Grand Seiko’s broad catalogue, the brand has never been blessed with the Moonphase Spring Drive - that sole honour belongs to Credor (and one Seiko branded watch). Not only that, but the 5R77 calibre solves a complaint commonly levied against Grand Seiko. Date windows. While I’m not opposed to their inclusion, I understand the issue - Spring Drives exude elegance, and date windows can feel jarringly intrusive. 

The Balance. The GCLL999 strikes a masterful balance. Its Moonphase and Power Reserve indicators not only balance the dial but are also tastefully understated, ensuring the Zaratsu-polished indices, hands, and case remain the stars of the show.

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.
