An elegant 26mm quartz watch
joins the cherry-blossom-inspired 62GS range
A new 26mm quartz model enhances the 62GS line-up with the option of a discreetly elegant size. The original 62GS launched in 1967 and debuted Grand Seiko’s first automatic movement, becoming one of Grand Seiko’s most memorable timepieces. Reinterpreting this timeless design, this model uses a dial that expresses the unique seasonal changes of Japan. It evokes hana-ikada, the beautiful “flower raft” scene in which cherry blossom petals are swept from their branches by spring breezes before settling on river surfaces. As with the original 62GS, a bezel-free construction grants the dial an expansive appearance, with the Zaratsu polishing technique creating a striking, multifaceted case design. Despite the case’s small size, its design ensures perfect legibility. The symmetrically arranged diamonds contribute to the watch’s brilliance, and the movement inside is the quartz Calibre 4J51, which achieves an accuracy of ±10 seconds per year.
