Grand Seiko Elegance Watch, 40.2mm Blue Dial, SBGA407

In the Shinshu area of Japan, winter has its own special beauty. During the Shokan "sekki" or season, the lakes are covered with ice, the air is sharp and dry and the sky takes on a deep blue hue that colors the snow that covers the mountains. The magic of Shinshu in Shokan is captured in this dial, which has the rich texture of driven snow and a unique blue tone. Like every Spring Drive Grand Seiko watch, this "Blue Snowflake" reflects the landscape around the facility where it was created and reveals another aspect of the nature of time.
