Grand Seiko 61GS Hi-Beat 36000 – Ref. 6145-8000 – 36 mm – Date – Vintage Japan

From Seiko’s golden era, the 61GS pairs crisp casework with the hi-beat 36,000 vph movement. This ref. 6145-8000 is the date-only variant: classic silver sunburst dial, applied indices and framed date at 3. The gold-tone case gives it dress presence without losing the sharp Grand Seiko lines. Wears beautifully at ~36 mm and comes on a leather strap. • Brand/Line: Grand Seiko – 61GS • Reference: 6145-8000 (date) • Movement: Automatic hi-beat 36,000 vph (Cal. 6145 series); running; date changes correctly • Case: Gold-tone (likely gold-cap/plated; see photos), approx. 36 mm excl. crown • Dial/Hands: Silver sunburst, applied batons, framed date at 3; dauphine hands; GS logo above “HI-BEAT 36000” • Crystal: Period-correct Seiko mineral/Hardlex (clean to the eye) • Strap: Black leather (aftermarket) with pin buckle • Water resistance: Not pressure-tested—treat as splash-only (as with most vintage) • Inclusions: Watch on strap (no original box/papers unless shown) • Condition: Vintage pre-owned; light surface wear consistent with age; dial and handset present cleanly—please review photos for exact condition
