Nature's Masterpiece: Presenting Grand Seiko's Latest Limited-Edition Creation

In the heart of Japan's Shinshu region, where the majestic Hotaka mountain range paints the sky with hues of crimson and gold at dawn, a new masterpiece was born. Put your hands together for SBGY035 from Grand Seiko, a brand known for its exquisite craftsmanship and unwavering pursuit of precision. The limited-edition timepiece commemorates the 20th anniversary of the brand’s iconic Spring Drive movement.

Inspired by Nature's Beauty

Drawing inspiration from the breathtaking sunrises atop the Hotaka mountains, SBGY035 captures the essence of dawn's tranquillity and the vibrant transformation of autumn leaves. The dial, a gradient of dark red on the edges to a luminous centre, mirrors the gradual illumination of the mountain landscape as the sun ascends. The intricate details of the watch, from the delicate sunray finish to the recessed power-reserve indicator, reflect the meticulous artistry that defines Grand Seiko.

A Technical Marvel

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, SBGY035 is a testament to Grand Seiko's technical prowess. Powered by the manual-winding Caliber 9R31 Spring Drive movement, the watch offers a remarkable blend of precision, power, and elegance. With an accuracy of ±15 seconds per month and a power reserve of 72 hours, this timepiece underscores Grand Seiko's commitment to innovation and excellence. 


The watch features a stainless steel case with a diameter of 38.5 mm and a thickness of 10.2 mm. A dual-curved sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating protects the dial and enhances visibility. The caseback is see-through, allowing for a glimpse of the intricate movement.

A Limited-Edition Treasure

As a limited edition of 700 pieces, SBGY035 is a coveted timepiece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its rarity, combined with its exquisite design and technical prowess, makes it a truly exceptional piece of horological artistry. SBGY035 also boasts a luxurious red-brown crocodile leather strap that complements its warm dial tones. 

What’s more, it has 30 high-quality jewels, ensuring smooth operation and long-lasting performance. These elements, along with the exquisite design and precise movement, contribute to SBGY035's status as a coveted timepiece.

Needless to say, SBGY035 is more than just a watch; it is a symphony of time, a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, and a tribute to the beauty of nature, the artistry of craftsmanship, and the enduring spirit of Grand Seiko. As the sun rises over the Hotaka mountains, so does a new era in watchmaking, marked by the timeless elegance and precision of SBGY035.
