Features
This modern reinterpretation of the 62GS, Grand Seiko’s first automatic mechanical model, depicts a beautiful moment in the ever-changing seasons in Japan. In a first for a non-limited edition with the 62GS case design, it is crafted in 18K rose gold. The warm pink dial shines with a brilliance that enhances the watch’s beauty. It represents a scene in which snow has covered the cherry blossoms, known as sakura-kakushi. With the warmth of the rose gold case and the shimmering of the dial, it is easy to imagine the snow-covered cherry blossoms glistening in the bright morning sun of early spring. The brown leather strap, which is symbolic of the tree’s trunk, adds to the atmosphere of beautiful calm. The movement is the Hi-Beat Caliber 9S85, which grants more stable precision by reducing variations in accuracy.

A dial that expresses cherry blossoms concealed by snow at the dawn of spring
The dial depicts a scene in which cherry blossoms are concealed by fallen snow, a rare phenomenon known as sakura-kakushi. This beautiful sight can be experienced in the early spring of the Tohoku region of northern Japan, which includes Iwate Prefecture, home of the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi. The stunning dial captures spring’s early, fleeting days and changes its appearance depending on the angle and the play of light. It makes the seemingly pedestrian act of checking the time into a captivating event for the eyes.
