Shunburn: The Vernal Equinox

The Celebration of Spring 
 

Story: The iconic "Cherry Blossom" watch is an ode to the Sakura season, when the blossoms fall from the trees and fall to the water. As they float along the lakes and rivers, it begins the start of a new season. The textured silvery blush dial represents the fleeting time of spring and the beauty in the newness of the year.

Rikka: Early Summer

The Refreshing Breeze 
 

Story: As the season moves from spring into summer, the invigorating colors of the new season bring energy and life into the day. Rice is planted, the heat and long summer sun brings a sense of endless possibility and the summer zephyr, or Kunpu, blows through the green fields.

Shubun: The Autumnal Equinox

The Moonlight Night
 

Story: The time when summer has passed and the sky falls dark earlier each evening; the sounds of rustling tree limbs, illuminated under the glow of the moon in the night sky. The dial of this timepiece is inspired by the cloudiness of the night sky as the seasons transition from long hot days to cooler evenings, with the golden indexes representing the stars and the moon.

Taisetsu: The Deep Snow of Winter

The Deep Snow
 

Story: The quiet, settled season of winter; when the white snow blankets the fields and glistens on bare tree branches. The calm, serene dial of this timepiece reflects the glitter of fresh snow as it gathers, and the slumber of the colder days gives us slower evenings and shorter days.

The Season of Life: Which Model Speak to You?


→ Consider your watch collection; if you're just starting with Grand Seiko, consider the Spring Drive models in the Season collection (Spring and Winter). The lightweight, durable Titanium feels effortless on your wrist, and the smooth glide of the Spring Drive secondhand will hold an endless gaze. 


→ Inspired by Stories? My favorite way to build onto a watch collection is choosing a timepiece that connects with your story. The Seasons line-up is meant to share your experiences, and inspire you through the changes in life. Choose a model that feels personal to you; you'll fall more in love with the dials as you wear them through the seasons, as the light will often reveal more depth and texture than you initially noticed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Grand Seiko Warranty?

Grand Seiko is proud to offer a 5-year warranty, and has servicing centers in Japan and in the States for optimal servicing options 

What is the Water Resistance for the Seasons Collection?

All 4 models in the Seasons collection features 10 bar water resistance, or 100 meters. As a rule of thumb, this means the watch can withstand rain, showers, dishes, etc. but we recommend taking it off before swimming or fully submersing it in the water. 

Is the Seasons Collection Considered a Unisex Watch?

Absolutely; in fact, we refer to the SBGA413 in our Guide to Women's Watches. While 39-41mm is on the larger side, more women have been reaching for bigger watches; particularly on Titanium, the Seasons collection works seamlessly for both men and women.
