The navy blue Grand Seiko VFA 61GS Ref. 6186-8000 is one of the most captivating VFAs ever made. Produced only between May 1972 and April 1974, it shared the stage with the silver dial but in far scarcer numbers. In fact, the earliest known example (serial 250001) left the factory with a blue dial, hinting at the special nature of this hue.
 
Navy blue has always held a magnetic appeal in vintage Grand Seiko. Even if you’ve owned the silver or white variant, seeing the blue version is enough to make any collector take notice.
 
The 6186-8000 exemplifies the precision and elegance of Grand Seiko VFA design. Every element is deliberate: Black-on-white day/date discs that remain visually balanced, ridge-backed pencil hands with subtle Dauphine flair, sharply faceted indexes floating above a deep navy dial, and the iconic G.O.D. case executed with flawless proportions and crisp geometry.
 
When seeking a VFA, especially the elusive blue 6186-8000, look for the details that matter: A pristine G.O.D. case, a flawless dial under the original crystal, sharp and untarnished indexes and hands, and a low-mileage movement. Together, these elements transform ownership into an exceptional experience. Some might call it picky, but it’s all about honoring the perfection Grand Seiko intended.
 
The watch will be serviced once purchased. Please allow 1~2 months before shipping.
