Each watches are powered by Grand Seiko’s tried and true 9S85 Hello-Beat Computerized Caliber. Correct, anti-magnetic, and with loads of energy reserve, the 9S85 has been a mainstay for Grand Seiko since its introduction in 2010 and presents a completely fashionable motion about which I’ve heard few complaints.
And with all that out of the way in which, we are able to deal with the killer characteristic of those watches — the dials. Pink and inexperienced have turn into one thing of a signature for Grand Seiko over the previous couple of years. Each the SBGH271 and SBGA413 have been latest fan favorites, and the 36.5mm SBGW289 has been an unmistakable hit. The model’s myriad executions on the tones provide potential Grand Seiko collectors loads of choices in the event that they discover themselves in pursuit of the considerably on-trend colours.
As with many Grand Seiko releases, the brand new SBGH341 and SBGH343 draw inspiration from nature. It may be simple, at occasions, to rib the Japanese watchmaker for leaning closely into this realm of inspiration, however the exceptional effectiveness of what they handle to attract from that nicely ought to quiet any potential detractors proper fast.
The pink SBGH341 pulls from Shunbun, a interval surrounding the vernal equinox in late March, and the way in which snow can coat the blooming cherry blossoms of Tohoku in that point, a uncommon sight referred to as “Sakura-Kakushi.” What outcomes is a stunning pale pink dial with a attribute texture that simply screams Grand Seiko.
The inexperienced SBGH343 pushes barely additional into spring, to the interval after Shunbun, known as Seimei. Seimei, in accordance with Grand Seiko, interprets to “clear and vivid” and is characterised by new development and the primary heat breezes of the season (sounds fairly good proper about now). The sunshine inexperienced dial is supposed to evoke the brand new leaves on a cherry blossom tree, referred to as “Sakura-Wakaba.” I can’t converse to its accuracy, but it surely produces a stunning inexperienced shade for a watch dial.
Each the SBGH341 and SBGH343 are priced at $7,300 and might be accessible beginning in March. Grand Seiko
