A Tribute to Japan’s Seasons

Grand Seiko continues to blend precision craftsmanship with Japanese artistry in its latest releases—the SBGH351 “Rikka” and SBGH353 “Shūbun.” These timepieces celebrate Japan’s seasonal transitions, featuring dials inspired by nature’s changing landscapes. Rooted in Grand Seiko’s iconic 62GS design from 1967, they honor the brand’s rich heritage while embracing modern innovation.
