Grand Seiko SBGH349: A Masterpiece of Design and Innovation
The Grand Seiko Heritage Collection introduces the SBGH349, a timepiece that masterfully combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Scheduled for release in January 2025, this watch is priced at $7,400.
Design and Inspiration
The SBGH349 features a 40mm case crafted from high-intensity titanium, a material renowned for being 30% lighter than steel and offering superior resistance to rust, corrosion, and scratches. The dial draws inspiration from the frozen Nanataki Falls near Mount Iwate, capturing the icy-blue hue and intricate texture of the icefall.
Movement and Performance
At the heart of the SBGH349 is the Hi-Beat Caliber 9S85, an automatic movement operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour. This high-frequency caliber ensures exceptional precision, with an accuracy rating of +5 to -3 seconds per day and a power reserve of approximately 55 hours.
Additional Features
Availability
The Grand Seiko SBGH349 will be available at Grand Seiko Boutiques and select retail partners worldwide starting January 2025.
