he case design pays homage to Grand Seiko’s legacy, drawing inspiration from the iconic 62GS, Grand Seiko’s first automatic watch, introduced in 1967. Known for its striking mirrored, multi-sided case and bezel-free construction, which allows for an expansive dial, this modern interpretation continues to honour the original’s groundbreaking design. Now, the case and bracelet have been upgraded to Ever-Brilliant Stainless Steel, a material celebrated for its exceptional corrosion resistance and radiant finish, ensuring enduring beauty and durability. These two imagined models succeed the SBGH271 and SBGH273,
The SBGH353 honours Shūbun, the autumnal equinox in Japan’s ancient calendar, with a deep blue dial that reflects the serene beauty of clear night skies illuminated by the moon and stars. Gold accents add a luminous touch, evoking the season’s tranquil charm.
As spring transitions into summer, nature comes alive with vibrant greens and flourishing landscapes. The SBGH351’s dial captures the essence of this season, featuring a soft texture, understated hue, and captivating shimmer reminiscent of early summer’s serene beauty.
The SBGH351 and SBGH353 retail for $7,200 USD.
