Grand Seiko SBGH368 Sakura Kakushi: An Elegant Tribute to Cherry Blossoms
The SBGH368 watch draws inspiration from the phrase "Sakura Kakushi" (sakura kakushi), the graceful drift of cherry blossom petals, gently blanketed by snow, floating elegantly above a tranquil landscape. The watch features a captivating copper-pink dial. Depending on the lighting conditions, the metal subtly reflects the rosy hue of the 18k rose gold case. Faceted rose gold hour markers, a delicate rose gold-framed date window at 3 o'clock, and a minute track subtly integrated into the bezel create a simple and harmonious dial that pays homage to Japan's nature and traditions.
Exquisite Rose Gold Craftsmanship The SBGH368 embodies Grand Seiko's unwavering commitment to precision and timeless design. Its 38mm case, crafted from 18k rose gold, echoes the style of the iconic 62GS launched decades ago, while incorporating modern aesthetics. The case measures 12.9mm thick and measures 44.7mm from lug to lug, with its angular lines and a blend of brushed and Zaratsu polishing creating a striking effect on the wrist.
High-End Sport and Performance At the heart of the SBGH368 is Grand Seiko's high-beat caliber 9S85. This automatic movement beats at 36,000 vibrations per hour, boasts a 55-hour power reserve, and boasts exceptional precision, with a mean daily deviation of just -3/+5 seconds. A sapphire crystal caseback reveals the movement's intricate mechanics, further underscoring Grand Seiko's reputation for high-precision engineering.
