Mt. Fuji - the highest mountain in Japan and the second-largest volcano in Asia, has always been an epic symbol of Japan. Legend has it that Mt. Fuji was created in just one day. Literally translated as “wealthy person with status”, the spirit of the word "Fuji" is skillfully manifested on the watch design of this new limited edition set, whereby truly implementing the Mt. Fuji spirit into a Grand Seiko. As the three new pieces continue to inherit the greatest of the Grand Seiko Heritage collection, it proudly presents to the world the magnificent Japanese craftsmanship.

Fuji's beautiful snowy winter, the Jade Snowflake SBGA453 represents pleasant summer greens, and the Ruby Snowflake SBGA455 brings out the inner volcanic characteristics of Mt. Fuji.
