Grand Seiko is the darling of contemporary watch collectors today, and taking even a cursory glance at the design specs — or better yet, an example in the metal — it’s easy to see why.

The artisanal talent that goes into the design and manufacturing process of a GS dial alone is simply stunning. Depending on the angle, the color and composition of a textured Grand Seiko face will look completely different. They’re truly works of art steeped in Japanese tradition.

This particular GS, a Reference SBGA413 'Shunbun,’ celebrates a "moment soon after the spring equinox, Shunbun when cherry blossom petals scattered by the wind cover the surface of a river." Housed in a 40mm titanium case with ‘holey’ lugs, a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a polished bezel, it features a striking, textured pink dial with applied high-polish indices and a matching 'dauphine' handset, and a date window at 3 o'clock.

Powering the SBGA413 — whose dial takes inspiration from the aforementioned "treasured moment in the Japanese seasonal calendar" — is Grand Seiko’s innovative Spring Drive Caliber 9R65 movement with 3 days of power reserve. It comes fitted to a matching titanium multi-link bracelet with a signed push-button deployant clasp.

There’s a reason why collectors are flocking to Grand Seiko’s designs. Get this piece on your wrist today to see what all the fuss is about!
