Grand Seiko has revealed three stunning new additions to its Heritage Collection, inspired by the beauty of cherry blossoms. The collection includes two “Sakura-Kakushi” references and one “Sakura-Tukiyo” variant, offering timepieces that embody spring’s elegance and fleeting beauty.
Grand Seiko: Elegant Design and Precision Craftsmanship
The SBGH368 “Sakura-Kakushi” stands out with its 38mm case in 18k rose gold, priced at $31,200 USD. The watch features a warm pink dial that evokes the image of snow-covered cherry blossoms, known as sakura-kakushi. Powered by the Hi-Beat 9S85 movement, the SBGH368 ensures precision, offering a power reserve of 55 hours.
In addition to the SBGH368, the STGK031 and STGK033 models are available in a 30mm stainless steel case. Priced at $6,400 USD, these models feature the signature bezel-free construction, allowing for seamless integration of the crystal with the case. The STGK031 has a silvery pink dial, representing frosted cherry blossoms in Japan’s Tohoku region. The STGK033 showcases a champagne-gold dial inspired by cherry blossoms under a full moon. Both models are powered by the 9S27 caliber, Grand Seiko’s smallest automatic mechanical movement, making them the slimmest automatic timepieces to date.
Availability and Release
The new “Sakura-Kakushi” and “Sakura-Tukiyo” watches will be available at Grand Seiko Boutiques and select retail partners worldwide in April 2025.
