Model: Seiko Credor GCAT989 / 8J80-0AK0 

Year: May 2008

Features:

The Collection. The GCAT989 is a glossy black dress watch from Credor that adds a subtle yet striking iridescent touch to an otherwise classic design. Having featured several of these ultra-thin, high-end Credors, I continue to be impressed by the sheer variety on offer. Whether you prefer Spring Drive (manual or automatic) or HAQ, Credor ensures there’s a version to suit your taste - available in a range of colours, textures, and materials.

The Design. Released in 2008 with a retail price of ¥325,000 (~$3,250 at the time), the GCAT989 is perfectly dressy at just 5.4mm thick and 36.0mm wide. The Mother of Pearl markers inject a touch of Credor’s signature playfulness, catching the light in a way that strikingly contrasts with the deep black dial.

The Movement. The GCAT989 is powered by a thermo-compensated 8J80 HAQ movement with an impressive accuracy of ±10 seconds per year - this aligns with Credor’s modern philosophy of making every second count. Understated, precise, and effortlessly elegant - the GCAT989 is yet another reminder of why Credor remains one of Japan’s best-kept secrets horological secrets.

The Style. Its beautifully integrated bracelet creates a seamless, lug-less dress watch aesthetic. And at just 5.4mm thick and 36mm wide, it will effortlessly slip under even the tightest of cuffs. The dial emphasizes the numbers 2, 4, and 7 as a poetic reminder of life’s “ceaseless flow of time,” as every moment of your life unavoidably happens within those 24 hours, 7 days a week.

It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to; the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage, new, or modified), and the import and tax 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?
