Grand Seiko 'Dusk Mount Iwate' 44GS Hi-Beat GMT 40mm Mens Watch SBGJ265

The textured dial of this timepiece is inspired by Mount Iwate, seen from the Shizukuishi Watch Studio where Grand Seiko mechanical timepieces are made. It expresses the beauty of winter mountain scenery at dusk. The Grand Seiko watchmakers pride in their surroundings is regularly represented in their designs from engineering watch movements which emulate the smooth motion of time passing, to creating dials reflecting the beauty of Japanese nature. This timepiece is part of the Grand Seiko Heritage Collection timepieces which echo historical styles re-interpreted with the very latest movements, manufacturing techniques and craftsmanship. First released in 1967, the 44GS case shape created a visually recognisable Grand Seiko Style design for Grand Seiko watches to follow balancing legibility and light with a clear and calm dial layout. Viewed from the front or side, the blend of sharp angles, brilliant Zaratsu polished surfaces and softly curved lines presents an infinite range of expressions through the interplay of light and shadow. The case, crown and bracelet of this watch are all made from brands exclusive Ever-Brilliant Steel with its brilliant white hue, this grade of steel is more corrosion resistant than other high-end watches.
