New Grand Seiko Four Seasons Models!
Grand Seiko just announced four beautiful new “Four Seasons” models! As you would guess, each model represents a single season.
The SBGA145, which represents winter, may be my favorite of the four. This gorgeous dial, which reminds me of clouds (I guess GS already had snow covered…), will be in titanium and available this September for $6,300.
The spring model, the SBGA413, will be available at the same time and same price. Like the SBGA415, it’s powered by a 9R65, and both watches are housed in 40mm titanium cases. It too will come out in September.
The next set of watches represents summer and fall. These are quite different from the first two, housed in steel cases instead of titanium (although still 40mm) and powered by 9S85 Hi-Beat automatic movements. This SBGH271, represents summer and will cost $6,300.
This SBGH273, representing fall, is my second favorite of the new special editions, thanks to its gorgeous dial reminiscent of rain. It too costs $6,300, and both of these models will be available in October of this year.
Check back for more details as they are released!

Really glad to see they brought back that case, it’s by far my favourite one, and I’ve missed it since I sold my 037 in January of 2017.
Maybe this will mean I get to add one of those to the box, and I’m thorn between the Winter and the Fall. (Silver or Blue).

I just love the cloud-like dial.

Me, not enough..I tend to lean on white/silver dials too heavily. I've only got one blue dial mechanical watch right now.

Maybe this will mean I get to add one of those to the box, and I’m torn between the Winter and the Fall. (Silver or Blue). I like the blue too, but am also heavy on blue right now myself. I saw the green first and it was an instant LIKE but then I saw the blue

We swap from time to time lol I’m about to put but SBGJ217 on the chopping block, and I miss having a spring drive. The titanium would take a while to get used to.

Baco Noir the downside is that the 62S case has the weird 21mm strap. I freaking hate that, and I’d need it on strap or I’ll never wear it. I can’t do the blingy GS bracelet.

CHIP - I’m having some crazy thoughts about changes to my collection but they involve flipping a few and getting a gold watch and a different chrono - no GS in the mix. I’m just not ready to do the flips at this time as I love the ones that would have to go up FS to do it.

Every now and then I want to flip the YM and the GSs to get a Day Date, but I can’t give up the YM. It’s my most worn watch.

It definitely is the "Chip" watch now.
