Features

This elegant 38mm wristwatch is a modern interpretation of the celebrated 62GS, Grand Seiko’s first mechanical model to feature automatic winding. A masterpiece of design, it embodies the “evolution of practicality” that has been central to Grand Seiko since its inception. The light-green dial is inspired by the new leaves that bud on cherry trees around the end of spring. The dial’s color is meant to express the vibrancy of the fresh new leaves as sunlight penetrates their translucence in the spaces between the peach-colored cherry blossom petals. The movement powering this watch is the Hi-Beat Caliber 9S85, which 10 beats per second to provide more stable precision by reducing variations in accuracy. With a diameter of 38 mm, the watch makes a classic impression on the wrist, and the case and bracelet have been crafted from high-intensity titanium, which is even more resistant to abrasions than regular titanium and designed to be a delight to wear.

A dial expressing the budding of new leaves

Imagine the new green cherry tree leaves that bud in the clear air as spring passes into the beginning of summer. The dial evokes the vibrancy of these leaves, which appear between the falling flowers, through an intricate pattern in light green. It captures the essence of a beautiful and fleeting scene that exists for a brief moment in time.


Caliber 9S85

This high-frequency mechanical movement was developed by rethinking the parts that form the foundation of the watch’s precision, granting the level of torque necessary to maintain a high oscillation rate and realizing a practical power reserve of about 55 hours when fully wound.
