Model: Seiko Credor GCAT989 / 8J80-0AK0 

Year: January 2010

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.

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.
