Adding to the Grand Seiko Heritage Collection, the ‘Sakura-Tukiyo’ is inspired by the magical nights of spring in Japan, when cherry blossoms glimmer in the full moon. ‘The Nature of Time’ theme features prominently in Grand Seiko watch designs – a Japanese spirituality where each moment is a unique expression unveiled through light and shadow. The watchmakers’ pride in their surroundings is represented from engineering watch movements, to creating dials reflecting the beauty of Japanese nature. A textured champagne gold dial is inspired by night-time cherry blossoms under a box-sapphire crystal glass. Compact and just 10.55mm slim, this timepiece is crafted to fit a 30mm 62GS case style. The design builds on the heritage of the 62GS – the first Grand Seiko with automatic winding – launched in 1967 and popular ever since, with its distinct aesthetic and recognisable case shape. Created in Stainless Steel, this model has a mirrored and multi-sided case with a wide dial opening, achieved with a bezel-free construction and unique Grand Seiko Zaratsu polishing. Through its exhibition caseback, the in-house 9S27 automatic calibre is accurate to 8 to -3 seconds per day, with a power reserve of 50 hours. Every Grand Seiko features signature high standards of precision, durability and legibility, handcrafted in Japan by Takumi artisans.
