Grand Seiko Heritage The 'Rikka' Summer Breeze Hi Beat Mechanical 40mm Watch SBGH271

This timepiece is from the Japanese Seasons collection – designs inspired by the twenty four ‘Sekki’ or seasons in Japan; since ancient times these changes in the weather and nature have been incorporated into Japanese daily life. The green luscious dial of this watch is inspired by early Summer in Japan – when the season changes from Spring and the land turns lush and green. A refreshing warm breeze -”kunpu” in Japanese – ripples the waving grass in the fields. ‘The Nature of Time’ theme features prominently in Grand Seiko watch designs – a Japanese spirituality where each moment is a unique expression unveiled through light and shadow. The watchmakers’ pride in their surroundings is represented from engineering watch movements which emulate the smooth motion of time passing, to creating dials reflecting the beauty of Japanese nature.
