This watch begins off with the identical 39mm case, three-hand dial format, and hand-wound 9S64 caliber. However, this time, it is rendered in heat rose gold and paired with a superb inexperienced dial. That dial has a refined iridescent impact to it, in addition to a shocking geometric sample engraved from edge to edge. As you’d anticipate from Grand Seiko, inspiration is drawn from nature, with the shimmering dial recalling the summer season gentle trickling by means of the white birch bushes within the forest close to Grand Seiko’s manufacture in Shizukuishi.
In contrast to the SBGW263, this watch options an open caseback with a Grand Seiko lion emblem printed on the underside of the sapphire crystal. This allows you to get pleasure from a pleasant view of the hand-wound caliber, which is a staple of the Grand Seiko lineup. That is precisely the type of watch you wish to be manually-wound: It is an awesome excuse to deal with the watch and admire the dial for a couple of moments each couple of days (you get a 72-hour energy reserve, so it does not should turn out to be a each day chore).
There might be 120 of those items produced, so it is nonetheless a really restricted manufacturing watch and one which collectors are positive to get enthusiastic about. Fortunately, you have received a short while to begin saving your pennies because the watch will launch at Grand Seiko boutiques and salons in July.
