The new “Sakura-Wakaba” 62GS
The yellow gold Grand Seiko “ Sakura-Wakaba ” ref. SBGH376 pays homage to the 62GS , Grand Seiko's first automatic watch launched in 1967 . Designed by Taro Tanaka , the case of the 62GS had a bezel-less design , with the crystal sitting directly on the c...
This is a lovely watch but
I am rather concerned that Grand Seiko have priced themselves out of the market.
