When the wind whips across the snow that lies in the mountains that surround the studio where this watch is made, it creates a ripple effect whose beauty is reflected in this subtly textured dial. The blued steel second hand stands out clearly against the pure white, enhancing the legibility of the time and inviting the eye to dwell on the clean expanse of the dial. The perfect mirror and fine brushed finish combine to give the case and bracelet an ever changing aspect and accentuate the beauty of the flowing lines that form its profile on the wrist.

A new 26mm quartz model enhances the 62GS lineup with the option of a discreetly elegant size. The original 62GS launched in 1967 and debuted Grand Seiko’s first automatic movement, becoming one of Grand Seiko’s most memorable timepieces. Reinterpreting this timeless design, this model uses a dial that expresses the unique seasonal changes of Japan. It evokes Hana-Ikada, the beautiful “flower raft” scene in which cherry blossom petals are swept from their branches by spring breezes before settling on river surfaces. As with the original 62GS, a bezel-free construction grants the dial an expansive appearance, with the Zaratsu polishing technique creating a striking, multifaceted case design. Despite the case’s small size, its design ensures perfect legibility. The symmetrically arranged diamonds contribute to the watch’s brilliance, and the movement inside is the quartz Caliber 4J51, which achieves an accuracy of ±10 seconds per year.
