Grand Seiko expands Heritage Collection with new 33mm models and fan-favourite dial options

- WORDS KEN KE

A season without new watches from Grand Seiko celebrating nature in some way is like a day without dawn.

Well, similes aside, Grand Seiko watches are amongst the few that might grab attention with just their dials, and that is the case here with two new 33mm models, SBGX359 and SBGX361. These watches are an expansion of the quartz Heritage Collection and go long on the natural beauty of the Shinshu region. Obviously, we are going long on dials here so we will also bring in two other references, the 37mm SBGX357 “Skyflake” and SBGX265. As a matter of fact, Grand Seiko itself made the case for these watches by drawing upon the shared artistry of the dials; said artistry is a tribute to the landscape surrounding the place where the watches are made.
