This limited edition watch commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Spring Drive Caliber 9R movement.
On summer mornings, before dawn, the red light of the sun illuminates the peaks of the Hotaka mountain range.
Eventually, the light spreads across the surface of the mountains, transforming the entire range into a light cream color, which gradually changes to the color of shinonome, or dawn.
This beautiful moment, which can only be seen for about 30 minutes before and after sunrise, is expressed on the dial.
A new technique called Optical Multilayer Coating makes this color-changing dial possible.
This model features an energetic and angular case design inspired by the lion, the symbol of the brand since the first Grand Seiko watch in 1960.
A symbol of strength and courage, the lion represented the original Grand Seiko team's goal of creating the best watch possible in terms of precision, legibility, durability, and beauty, values that remain to this day.
The presence of the lion is evident in every detail of the new watch, such as the angularity of the case and the claw-finished lugs, which create a contrast with the surfaces polished using the Zaratsu technique.
Water resistant to 20 bar, the watch is designed to deliver the same level of performance in any sporting situation.
The hour and minute hands are designed for enhanced legibility, and the large hour markers further enhance the superior readability for which Grand Seiko is renowned.
The case and bracelet are made of High-Intensity Titanium, which is approximately 30% lighter than stainless steel and has a brighter color.
The bracelet is also designed for maximum comfort, with thick H-shaped links that easily adapt to wrists of all sizes.
The hour and minute hands, as well as the hour markers, are equipped with Lumibrite that glows green, while the GMT hand and the numbers on the bezel glow blue, improving the watch's legibility in dark conditions.
