The Grand Seiko 4520-8000 is a manual-wind reference from the "45GS" family, a 36 by 41 mm steel case housing the high-beat calibre 4520A, a 25-jewel movement running at 36,000 vibrations per hour with no date complication. Introduced in 1968, it was among the last Grand Seiko lines built by the Daini Seikosha division before Seiko consolidated Grand Seiko production, and it carries the clean, faceted case and dial styling of the brand's "Grammar of Design" era. Jackroad's costume-loan archive credits the reference to Takumi Saitoh's banker Yamazaki Akira in the drama Akira and Akira. (Jackroad)
