SBGJ263G
The dial of this watch takes inspiration from Mount Iwate, viewed from the Shizukuishi Watch Studio where Grand Seiko timepieces are crafted. It showcases the stunning winter landscape of snow-covered mountains. Grand Seiko's watchmakers consistently incorporate their appreciation for their environment into their designs, from developing movements that mirror the graceful passage of time to crafting dials that capture the beauty of Japanese nature.

As a true "manufacture," Grand Seiko continuously integrates the latest in-house technical advancements into their mechanical movements, while maintaining their renowned craftsmanship.
With 200 to 300 individual components, our mechanical watches demonstrate near-perfect consistency and functionality in every detail to guarantee precision. However, the craftsmanship of the Grand Seiko is not solely reliant on components. It is the skill of our craftsmen and women, who have honed their craft to such a high level, that allows them to manually adjust parts to tolerances of one hundredth of a millimetre. Such intricate and precise workmanship is what delivers the accurate timekeeping of the 9S mechanical movement, for which Grand Seiko is renowned.
As an expert in the field of watchmaking, I can attest to the meticulous precision, durability, and clarity of every Grand Seiko. Each timepiece is crafted by skilled Takumi artisans in Japan, showcasing the beauty and precision of traditional Japanese watchmaking at its finest. Grand Seiko represents the pinnacle of Seiko Watch Corporation's in-house manufacture, providing unparalleled quality and craftsmanship.
