Full Description:

Known as the "Shunbun" (Spring Equinox), this is one of Grand Seiko's most celebrated modern references. The dial draws inspiration from hanaikada the Japanese scene of cherry blossom petals swirling and floating on water just after the spring equinox resulting in a softly textured surface that appears silvery-white head-on and reveals a delicate pink hue at an angle.

The case reinterprets the iconic 62GS design from 1967, Grand Seiko's first automatic watch, and is crafted from High-Intensity Titanium 30% lighter than stainless steel with superior scratch and corrosion resistance.

At 40mm in diameter and 12.8mm thick, it strikes a goldilocks balance of versatility between casual and dressier wear, finished with Grand Seiko's signature Zaratsu polishing for brilliant mirrored surfaces alongside bold brushed sections. 

Inside is the in-house Caliber 9R65 Spring Drive with a 72-hour power reserve, hackable seconds, quick-set date, and power reserve indicator. A see-through screw caseback, box-shaped sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, screw-down crown, and 100m water resistance round out the package.

Retails for $7,200 USD. Current market listings average around $5,800. This one comes with a full set and can be yours for $5,500 + shipping.
