Introducing the Grand Seiko Boutique Online exclusive model, "SBGA469".
"Kachi-iro" (victory color) is an auspicious color.
The most distinctive feature of this model is its dial, which boasts a unique color and pattern.
The deep, beautiful indigo color is known as "katsu-iro" (victory color), and among samurai warriors, it was used on armor and vests as a good luck charm for winning competitions. It
also features a unique pattern resembling a rock face, evoking the image of a rugged, rocky "iwao" (rock).
When exposed to strong light, the delicate stamped patterns become visible. One of the charms of this watch is that you can enjoy various looks with just one timepiece. The closer you look, the more you can appreciate the beauty of the dial, giving you a sense of joy in owning a watch.
These delicate dials are created by patterns directly engraved by the hands of craftsmen, and the design allows you to enjoy various changes in impression depending on the "color" and "light".
From a distance, the watch appears to have a simple navy blue dial, making it suitable for business settings. The dial features a power reserve indicator at the 7 and 8 o'clock positions, allowing you to easily check the remaining winding power.
The case measures 41mm wide, 49mm tall, and 12.5mm thick. The lugs are curved to conform to the wrist, making it exceptionally comfortable to wear.
Equipped with Grand Seiko's unique Spring Drive technology.
The case back is transparent, allowing you to admire the movement of Grand Seiko's unique Spring Drive movement, "Caliber 9R65." The beauty of the movement's bridges and rotor, adorned with a consistent wave pattern, can be appreciated up close. The
Caliber 9R65 boasts a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. If fully wound, even if you take it off on Friday night after work and wear a different watch over the weekend, it will still be running on Monday morning.
Spring Drive is known for combining the best of both mechanical and quartz movements, but its appeal doesn't end there. The smooth, flowing movement of the hands across the dial is unique to Spring Drive. The smooth movement of the second hand evokes a sense of uninterrupted time.
This watch is a special model available exclusively through the Grand Seiko Boutique Online. You can also view it in person at the Grand Seiko Boutiques in Ginza and Shinsaibashi, Osaka, so please come and enjoy its beauty.
