With a cream-like ivory dial, this Grand Seiko Heritage timepiece is heavily inspired by the Kanro season in early October, when the rice is ready to be harvested before the cold sets in. This piece remains slim at only 11.7mm, despite its box sapphire glass. It features sharp silver-colored Dauphine hands, and a black crocodile leather strap which contrasts the complexion of the dial.‘The Nature of Time’ theme features prominently in Grand Seiko watch designs – a Japanese spirituality where each moment is aunique 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. Functioning on an in-house 9S64 mechanical caliber movement, this can be observed through its exhibition case back. It is accurate to +5/-3 seconds per day and has a power reserve of three days. Every Grand Seiko features signature high standards of precision, durability and legibility, handcrafted in Japan by Takumi artisans.
