Grand Seiko Includes Japanese Cornerstone Washi In A Watch Exclusively For Asia Pacific

Grand Seiko pays homage to the revered art of Washi-making, the Japanese art of handcrafting paper, with the limited-edition SBGJ283. Limited to just 150 pieces, the watch features a lustrous textured off-white dial. The subtle patterns evoke the nuanced beauty of Washi paper, while the red GMT hand, inspired by the red fruit of the Kozo, creates a striking contrast. 

Encased in Ever-Brilliant Steel — a highly corrosion-resistant alloy with a superior PREN rating — the watch inherits the sleek design language of the 1967 original 44GS model, characterized by mirror-finished flat surfaces. Powered by the Hi-Beat Caliber 9S86, the SBGJ283 offers exceptional precision (+5 to -3 seconds per day) and dual-time functionality, perfect for the modern globetrotter. The watch is exclusively available at Grand Seiko boutiques and authorized retailers in the Asia Pacific.
