Grand Seiko Elegance Collection SBGE269 Spring drive watch

Grand Seiko released its first watch in 1960, challenging the perception that the Swiss were the undisputed masters of fine watchmaking. In the nearly 60 years since the first Grand Seiko, the company has become known the world over for producing some of the most elegantly designed timepieces in the world while developing innovative technologies such as Spring Drive. Even while maintaining its high quality standards, it delivers tons of value in its watches, making it popular with collectors at all levels. In 2017, Grand Seiko became its own brand within Seiko’s expansive watchmaking portfolio.

Product Description

 A GMT watch that expresses the rich expression of the four seasons of Japan on the dial
Twenty-four solar terms. Japan divides the year into 24 equal parts and incorporates the subtle changes of the seasons into everyday life. Inspired by that, it is a GMT watch that beautifully expresses one energy saving with a dial.

The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and the air is clear. You may suddenly feel the warmth of the sun even in a quiet snowy landscape. The dial design is based on the image of a "snowy sunny" sunset that shines in the tranquility and cold as the snow stops. The deep snow is dialed, and the soft light of the setting sun is represented by the GMT hands.
