# Reference: **Model:** Seiko Credor "Mother of Pearl" GCAT989 **Year:** May 2008 **Album:** [https://imgur.com/a/D3gByqB](https://imgur.com/a/D3gByqB) **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/MQayr4t](https://imgur.com/a/MQayr4t) # Features: **The Concept.** The “24/7” GCAT989 is a glossy black dress watch from Credor that adds a subtle yet striking iridescent touch to an otherwise classic design. Having seen several of neo-vintage(ish), high-end Credors, I continue to be impressed by the sheer variety on offer. Whether you prefer Spring Drive (manual or automatic) or HAQ, Credor ensures there’s a version to suit your taste - available in a range of colours, textures, and materials. **The Design.** Released in 2008 with a retail price of ¥325,000 (\~$3,250 at the time), the GCAT989 is perfectly dressy at just 5.4mm thick and 36.0mm wide. The Mother of Pearl markers inject a touch of Credor’s signature playfulness, catching the light in a way that strikingly contrasts with the deep black dial. **The Movement.** The GCAT989 is powered by a thermo-compensated 8J80 HAQ movement with an impressive accuracy of ±10 seconds per year - this aligns with Credor’s modern philosophy of *making every second count*. Understated, precise, and effortlessly elegant. **The Style.** Its beautifully integrated bracelet creates a seamless, lug-less dress watch aesthetic. And at just 5.4mm thick and 36mm wide, it will effortlessly slip under even the tightest of cuffs. The dial emphasizes the numbers 2, 4, and 7 (24/7) as a poetic reminder of life’s “ceaseless flow of time”. # Details: **Condition:** In great condition overall.
