Grand Seiko Heritage "Sakura-Wakaba" Hi-Beat Automatic – SBGH376

The Grand Seiko Heritage “Sakura-wakaba” Hi-Beat Automatic is a poetic celebration of nature and craftsmanship, capturing a fleeting moment in Japan’s seasonal beauty. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, this 38mm timepiece reinterprets the iconic 62GS design, Grand Seiko’s first automatic watch, with its distinctive bezel-less construction that allows light to flow effortlessly across the dial. The result is a refined, luminous presence on the wrist.

The softly textured dial, in a delicate light-green hue with subtle golden undertones, evokes “Sakura-wakaba”—the fresh leaves that emerge as cherry blossoms fall, signaling the transition from spring to summer. Its appearance shifts gracefully with changing light, offering a dynamic and deeply elegant visual experience. Paired with a rich brown crocodile leather strap, the watch exudes warmth and sophistication.

At its heart, Grand Seiko equips the Hi-Beat Caliber 9S85, operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour for exceptional precision and a 55-hour power reserve. Visible through the exhibition caseback, the movement reflects the meticulous craftsmanship of the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi. A harmonious blend of heritage, innovation, and natural inspiration, this timepiece is a true expression of Grand Seiko’s artistry.
