Signature cases with colorful dials inspired by the landscape around Mt. Iwate
Two new Grand Seiko Heritage 44GS models are inspired by the original 44GS, a model that embodies the brand’s iconic Japanese design and dates back to 1967. Now, Grand Seiko has introduced three 44GS models exclusively for the US market, with dials in blue, pink and green inspired by the landscape around Mt. Iwate at different seasons of the year.
All three watches feature brushed and polished stainless steel cases with identical dimensions of 36.5mm in diameter and 11.6mm thick. The case retains its signature slim profile with curved sides, flat surfaces and a box-shaped sapphire crystal topped with an anti-reflective coating. It also features a solid caseback with the brand’s lion emblem and is water-resistant to 100 meters.
All three dials feature baton hour markers, Dauphine hands and time indications. The first model features a pink dial that pays homage to “hanami,” the cherished Japanese tradition of cherry blossom viewing. Drawing inspiration from the fleeting splendor of the blossoming cherry trees, the replica watches for sale captures the essence of their fleeting beauty. Located in northern Japan, Iwate Prefecture, this watch features a bright green second hand, providing a special opportunity to admire the contrast between the bright pink blossoms of the cherry trees and the green grass.
The second model is inspired by “tsuyu,” the early summer rainy season that turns Japan verdant. The green hue of this watch reflects the rich, rain-fed landscape surrounding Mount Iwate, reflecting the region’s vibrant fertility. Unlike the other models in the trio, this watch features the brand’s gold “GS” logo below the 12 o’clock position.
Finally, the exclusive offering for GS9 Club USA members features a captivating blue dial. This hue is reminiscent of the stunning “juhyo,” or snow monsters—trees covered in windblown ice and snow that transform the landscape into an ethereal winter tableau. Visible from the adjacent Mt. Iwate on Mt. Hachimantai, these natural sculptures epitomize the unique winter beauty of Iwate Prefecture. replica bugatti watches
