A unique dial that captures the Nature of Time
Earlier this year, Grand Seiko introduced a high-beat watch whose dial design incorporated a series of delicate lines that echoed the intricate nature of tree-rings. This watch celebrated the 140th anniversary of Seiko's founding and won high praise from watch fans worldwide thanks to the organic feel of the dial and the powerful yet understated charm of the overall design. This new reference follows that ethos, but does so with a new burgundy dial contrasting a rose gold case, while introducing Grand Seiko's newest Spring Drive movement, Caliber 9RA2, and continues the anniversary celebration of the company's founding 140 years ago.
The watch is powered by the new Grand Seiko Spring Drive 5 Days Caliber 9RA2, which inherits all the performance characteristics of the Spring Drive Caliber 9RA5 introduced last year in 2020 for Grand Seiko's 60th anniversary. The new setting of the watch hands and the power reserve indicator moved to the movement's back gives the watch a slender and elegant feel upon observation of the dial and enhances the dial’s exquisite craftwork signature to Grand Seiko. And for the first time ever, this movement is visible thanks to a sapphire exhibition caseback. Limited to 140 pieces.
