Grand Seiko Sport Collection Automatic Hi-Beat 36000 GMT Tokushima HARADA Exclusive 2024 - "Yoshino River"
SBGJ279
Limited Edition of 50 Pieces
Flow with the spirit of the Yoshino River through the SBGJ279. Stretching over 200 kilometers across the Shikoku Mountains, this celebrated waterway inspires a dial that captures the gently rippling surface of the river, alive with the shimmer of sunlight on moving currents. The golden “GS” crest gleams at its center, echoing the brilliance of water reflecting sky.
The sapphire‑crystal bi‑color bezel, divided between indigo and white, pays homage to Tokushima’s renowned Aizome dyeing tradition, while LumiBrite accents reflect the river’s dual character — untamed upstream, serene downstream. A supple navy rubber strap adds versatility, balancing sport and refinement.
At its core beats the high‑frequency Caliber 9S86 GMT, operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour to deliver precision across three time zones. With a 44.2mm case, 14.4mm thickness, and a confident 188g presence, the SBGJ279 is designed for collectors who value substance and artistry.
This creation is the result of a collaboration with Harada, a distinguished retailer in Tokushima with deep roots in Japanese watch culture. Known for curating rare timepieces and fostering appreciation for craftsmanship, Harada brings local heritage into the partnership, ensuring the Yoshino River’s cultural soul is reflected in every detail.
Limited to just 50 pieces, the SBGJ279 is not simply a watch — it is a river’s essence captured in steel and sapphire, a tribute to both Grand Seiko’s artistry and Harada’s enduring legacy.
