Grand Seiko ‘Yuka Momiji’ Mechanical Hi-Beat GMT

Japan, the charms of changing seasons are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Taking up this concept, the latest Grand Seiko mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 GMT expresses the beauty of autumn as it might be experienced in a traditional Japanese building with floors of lacquered wood. There, light pours in through windows, and the ebullient reds of autumn leaves outside reflect off the floorboards in a mesmerizing display of nature’s beauty.

Each dial has a striated surface depicting a spectrum of reds, calling to mind how some lighter or darker floorboards might reflect varied shades of changing leaves. The GMT hand, rendered in a rich golden hue, adds another fall colour to the dial.
