Grand Seiko Heritage 62GS "Shubun" Four Seasons Automatic Hi-Beats watch blue dial steel bracelet 40 mm

Japanese poetry

In 2019, Manufacture Grand Seiko launched a collection of four models for the US market, inspired by the Nature of Time and the 24 sekki, the Japanese seasons marking the perpetual change of nature.
Today marks the global launch of these four timepieces to complement the Heritage collection.

The model we are presenting is the SBGH273, called SHŪBUN, representing the autumnal equinox, where the light of the moon illuminates a calm night. Its dark blue dial is inspired by the clear night sky, tsukiyo, which the Japanese particularly appreciate. 

An iconic design

The design of this SBGH273 is based on the legendary 62GS, Grand Seiko's first automatic watch launched in 1967. This timepiece became very popular thanks to its striking design featuring a mirror-like, multi-faceted case and a very open dial, achieved through a bezel-less construction and Grand Seiko's signature Zaratsu polishing technique. Pure, refined and noble, the 62GS is a precious classic.

An exceptional Hi-Beats calibre

This SBGH273 is powered by a Manufacture 9S85 automatic winding calibre. This high-frequency movement demonstrates all the know-how and mastery of the Japanese brand in the design of Hi-Beats movements. Indeed, few watchmakers propose to take up this challenge, as a faster rotation speed can affect the power reserve and even the longevity of the movement itself.
With 50 years of experience, and the result of many years of development and research, this movement produced at the Shizukuishi Watch Studio offers a precision of -3 to +5 seconds per day, as well as a power reserve of 55 hours.
