Japanese Winter-Themed Timepieces - Grand Seiko's SBGH295 and SBGA471 are Inspired by Sōkō Frost (TrendHunter.com)
The Grand Seiko Winter collection includes two new timepieces inspired by sōkō frost, a sub-season in Japan that denotes the start of winter. This collection includes a Spring Drive timepiece and a
mechanical Hi-Beat 36,000 automatic watch. The SBGA471 features the Spring Drive, while the SBGH295 is Hi-Beat.
The style of these two timepieces are reminiscent of a frosty winter, with colors and tones such as 'kirazuri ice blue,' silver, and crispy black. This sōkō frost collection is meant to bring the joy of a Japanese winter to consumers in the United States, so the limited collection will only be available in the U.S. The retail price for these watches are $6,000 USD and $6,900 USD respectively.
