At the KRW 10 million-plus tier, the real difference between models is mechanical โ hi-beat's ticking second hand versus Spring Drive's continuous glide.
Once you're above the 10-million-won mark, ranking automatic watches by price alone misses the point โ what matters is the technology, the case material, and the finishing behind that number. Even within the same brand, hi-beat mechanical and Spring Drive movements work on entirely different principles, and that difference is most visible in how the second hand moves.
This list covers Grand Seiko models with published KRW list prices at official Korean boutiques, organized by case size, material, and movement generation. List prices can shift over time, so it's worth confirming current pricing and availability in person before buying.
