In 2022, Grand Seiko launched its first mechanised complication, the KODO Constant-Force Tourbillon, a revolutionary watch which, for the first time in the history associated with horology, combined a tourbillon and constant-force mechanism like a single unit, on a single axis. As such, it represented a significant milestone in Grand Seiko’s history and was recognized by the actual international watchmaking community with regards to was awarded the Chronograph Prize at that year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

Each procedure is done by hand by highly trained craftsmen to ensure elegant visible harmony from all perspectives.
Innovative 9ST1 Movement
The watch is equipped with the original 9ST1 motion, in which the constant force gadget and tourbillon are built-into a single unit, located on the exact same axis. Since there are no armor and weapon upgrades or other parts between the 2 devices, there is no loss or even change in the torque transported to the balance wheel through the constant force device, the life span of the constant force unit is approximately 50 hours, and also the amplitude of the balance steering wheel is highly stable. These features combine to create a highly steady precision of the movement. replica Richard Mille RM 065

The lining tourbillon cage rotates as the balance wheel oscillates continuously at a frequency of eight times per second, as well as the outer constant-force cage comes after its rotation at accurate one-second intervals. The sound on the escapement and the pulse with the constant-force mechanism once for each second harmonize with this aesthetic rhythm, creating a deeply fulfilling and reassuring heartbeat for your eyes and ears. This particular sound has a powerful however soft appeal, set to sixteenth notes or sixteenths.
Exclusive white band
