Grand Seiko Heritage
Celebrating the vernal equinox with Shunbun
When sakura blossoms fall into water they swirl and float, appearing to dance atop the water. The Japanese call them flower rafts, or hanaikada. Pulling its inspiration from this tranquil scene, the SBGA413 dial—with its unique texture, subtle coloration, and mesmerizing shimmer—evokes the spirit of the fleeting sakura season.
The case design also pulls inspiration from a distinct source, this time from Grand Seiko's history. Launched in 1967, the 62GS was Grand Seiko’s first automatic watch. This timepiece gained popularity for its striking design, which featured a mirrored, multi-sided case and wide dial opening made possible via a bezel-free construction. The contemporary interpretation of the 62GS design can be seen here.
