Iwate prefecture’s northern location creates a unique opportunity to experience and observe the fleeting beauty of the Sakura, the traditional custom of hanami, the viewing of cherry blossoms, later in Spring than in most other regions of Japan. In late April and early May, you can see the cherry trees in full bloom with a snow-capped Mt. Iwate in the background. This serves as the source of inspiration for the U.S. Exclusive SBGW313.
The 44GS, released in 1967, was the first to define the Grand Seiko Style and has evolved into a modern interpretation with contemporary practicality. SBGW311 is paired with a stainless steel bracelet with a three-fold clasp with push button release.
Assembled by hand by the craftsmen and women of Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, Caliber 9S64 is a mechanical manual-winding movement with 72 hours of power reserve and an accuracy rating of -3 to +5 seconds per day.
