====== Grand Seiko 62GS ======
The **62GS** was the first [[automatic]] [[Grand Seiko]] model, produced by [[Suwa Seikosha]] for [[Seiko]] from [[1967]] until [[1969]]. On its introduction, the 62GS became the high-end model in a three-model Grand Seiko range The older [[Grand Seiko 57GS|manually-wound 57GS]] continued in production, while the stylish Daini-produced [[Grand Seiko 44GS|44GS]] was introduced at the same time. It was upstaged by the [[Grand Seiko 61GS|automatic Hi-Beat 61GS]] in 1968 and phased out.

Now that Seiko had proven the [[Grand Seiko]] concept, the company began adding important features to the model line. The first was an [[automatic]] movement, introduced in [[1966]] on the [[Seiko 6200|calibre 6200]]. It was originally branded **Seikomatic Chronometer** but the Swiss [[COSC]] appealed Seiko's self-certification of [[chronometer]] ratings and Seiko was forced to drop the word. Historically, it is known simply as the 62GS.

The 62GS contained a new [[automatic]] movement with 35 or 39 jewels. Oscillating at 19,800 A/h, it was available with date only or day and date.

The 62GS was not produced in large numbers and is difficult to find today. It is distinguished by a flush-mounted crown at 4 00 and a contoured case.

There were two 62GS models 

  * **6245A** - Date only, 35 jewels
  * **6246A** - Day/date, 39 jewels
