Seiko Credor GCLL992 Spring Drive Moonphase

Model: Seiko Credor GCLL992 / 5R77-0AA0

Year: January 2006

Features:

The Design. A chocolate dial surrounded by 18kt solid rose gold bezel. The finishing is immaculate, and small details like rose gold moon shouldn't go unnoticed. And what does a face as stunning as this one deserve? Only the smoothest sweep imaginable, of course. Thankfully, Credor delivers, equipping the GCLL992 Moonphase with the exceptional 5R77 Spring Drive movement.

The Complication. One common complaint among collectors is the inclusion of date windows on most Grand Seiko Spring Drives. While I’m not opposed to date windows, I understand the complaint - Spring Drive watches exude elegance, and date windows can feel jarringly intrusive. Luckily, Credor’s Spring Drive offerings tend to forgo date windows, preserving their dressy heritage. 

The Balance. It strikes a masterful balance. Its Moonphase and Power Reserve indicators are tastefully understated, ensuring the twinkling, zaratsu polishing is the star of the show.

The Movement. The GLCC992 houses Credor's 5R77 movement, which is one of very few Spring Drive Moonphases in existence. Accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month, and with a 72-hour power reserve.

Condition: In very good condition overall. A clean dial and crystal, with minor marks on the case and bezel. Original strap. Comes with box and papers.
