Vintage : GS 5646
1970-1974, produced in abundance with more than 30 different references in the 56GS line up. Even back then Seiko liked to spoil us with choice !
This iteration, which was Sunday’s watch of choice for me, is one of the more common 56GS. Common or not this iteration exhibits the much loved grammar of design rules which draws in fans of GS past and present.
And while I’m the first one to scream “why did they add a date window” I think here when you own it by also including the day it’s much less of the afterthought we often are so vocal about.
I’ve said this repeatedly over the years. If I’m showing up at the GTG, this and some of my other vintage GS is what you’ll find me with. Some of you will know this as you’ve seen some of my vintage GS line up in the past.

Beautiful watch!
I recently got a Seiko LM because I liked the dial - this was my first foray into the vintage Seiko world, and I must say I love it!! Great strap pairing too my friend ...
Very nice acquisition. There’s a lot to love in the vintage Seiko world.
So many variations, cases, dials etc.
Bravo! Let’s see more vintage Seiko, King Seiko, Grand Seiko, et al
Thanks for posting! (Sanitary 7S26 diver) Cazalea ...
Perhaps it will come with time
And perhaps not… I believe Seiko did make a lot of them. Honestly I would not be upset if the prices don’t go up, even as an owner. As prices get more insane across the board, the more important it becomes for there to be ‘good deal’ watches for collector...
Very nice watch
Love the case and the thin the hands and index blackened steel ? Or just the reflection.
