Credor “Anthracite” GCAR987 HAQ

Model: Credor GCAR987 HAQ

Year: July 2016

Features:

The Collection. The Credor GCAR987 HAQ is as accurate as it is beautiful. First introduced in 2004, the Node Collection marked a pivotal moment for Credor. Seiko slowly redefined the brand from one that heavily relied on precious metals to one that paired sophisticated, modern designs with elite movements, using precious metals as subtle accents rather than the main feature.

The Design. A minimalist anthracite black design, featuring baton indices and sleek hands to match. At just 6.9mm thick and 37mm wide, it not only perfectly captures the spirit of Credor but also flawlessly embodies the concept of a dress watch - lightweight, slim, and effortlessly classy.

The Movement. Inside is a legendary 8J thermocompensated HAQ, which represents Seiko’s last whatever the cost approach to making quartz movements, before being replaced by the more economical 9F calibre seen in Grand Seikos. Like the 9F, the 8J boasts accuracy of ±10 seconds per year, but dedicated testing by the WUS community shows the 8J consistently outperforms the 9F across all temperature ranges.
