Grand Seiko announces global partnership with Shohei Ohtani.

Grand Seiko will embark on a global partnership with Major League Baseball player Shohei Ohtani through the Grand Moments Project beginning April 1, 2026.

The project reflects a shared philosophy grounded in a deep respect for the value of time and a commitment to approaching each moment with sincerity. Over time, the steady accumulation of such moments refines the quality of time itself. Both Grand Seiko and Shohei Ohtani share the belief that sustained effort ultimately shapes the future. Guided by this vision, they approach time with intention, refining it through disciplined, consistent pursuit of their respective crafts.

Shohei Ohtani commented:
“To carry forward a part of Grand Seiko’s heritage, shaped through decades of dedication, is something I deeply value. Feeling that legacy as I wear the watch brings me real joy, and it is my hope that we will continue this journey together.” Reflecting on the idea of refining time, he added, “Elevating the quality of each moment is important. At the same time, the sustained pursuit of excellence is equally essential. Both truly matter.”

Together, Grand Seiko and Shohei Ohtani move forward in a global partnership, united in their commitment to shaping the future through sustained effort.
