Grand Seiko’s GMT Twenty-Four Seasons Series Celebrates The Changing Seasons In Style
Soft dial colours are used to represent each season. The green background with rose gold accents of the Shunbun (spring) model captures the verdant growth and budding trees of spring. The light blue dial of the Shosho (summer) model is textured in a wave pattern to represent ripples on Japan’s many lakes and ponds shimmering in the summer sun. The textured black dial of the Kanro (autumn) edition represents shorter days, longer nights and a chill in the morning air. The white dial of the TŌji (winter) dial is textured to represent the snow caps of a cool winter landscape. All four incorporate the signature elements of the Grand Seiko line, including the Series 9 case with high Zaratsu polish, dauphine hands and long chamfered markers. All four function as GMT watches with hour hands that are independently adjustable.
Grand Seiko applies its two new showcase movements to the four-piece GMT Twenty-Four Seasons collection. The Hi-Beat 3600 automatic GMT caliber 9S86 drives the spring and summer versions. The elite movement, accurate to within +5 to -3 seconds per day, has a 55-hour power reserve. The hybrid electronic/mechanical Spring Drive automatic GMT caliber 9R66, used in the autumn and winter models, has a 72-hour power reserve and an accuracy rating of +/- 1 second per day. Because Grand Seiko fits the cases to the movements, there is a slight variance in size: The Hi-Beat spring and summer editions are 39.5mm wide and 14.4mm thick, and the Spring Drive autumn and winter models are 40.2mm thick and 14mm wide. All four have open casebacks.
The GMT Twenty-Four Seasons Hi-Beat versions are priced at US$6,800 (about RM28,000), and the Spring Drive versions are priced at US$6,000 (about RM24,000).
