Iwate Prefecture, the location of the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi,
home to all Grand Seiko mechanical watches, ranks as one of Japan’s premier white birch forest regions.
The mystical sight of towering white birch trees emerging from the landscape, bathed in clear highland air,
rouses one’s sense of the inspiring beauty and strength of nature.
The magnificent white birch forest is elegantly expressed in this creation’s dial,
which features a dynamic pressed pattern and delicate coloring.
