Grand Seiko 62GS Jozankei SBGH325G 2023 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Grand Seiko 62GS SBGH325, also known as the “Jozankei,” is a remarkable timepiece with deep aesthetic and cultural significance. This limited edition of just 150 pieces, made exclusively for the Hong Kong market, quickly sold out, becoming a coveted piece among Grand Seiko collectors. Named after Jozankei, a scenic hot spring town in Hokkaido, Japan, the watch draws inspiration from the changing hues of Jozankei’s autumnal landscape. This reference to nature is beautifully reflected in the rich, warm tones of the dial, which features a captivating textured pattern that evokes the depth and subtle gradations of a forest in fall.

The 62GS SBGH325 is more than just a tribute to nature; it also honors the heritage of Grand Seiko’s first automatic watch, the 62GS, introduced in 1967. The design retains the clean, bezel-less aesthetic of the original 62GS, which allows the dial to stand out prominently under the box-shaped sapphire crystal. With its 40mm stainless steel case and signature Zaratsu polishing, the SBGH325 showcases the brand’s dedication to creating harmonious, reflective surfaces that shift beautifully in different lights. The balance between the dial’s rustic warmth and the sleek steel case creates a stunning, contemporary look that wears comfortably and stylishly on the wrist.

Inside, the watch is powered by the high-beat Caliber 9S85, which vibrates at 36,000 beats per hour, offering precision that meets Grand Seiko’s stringent standards. This movement’s impressive accuracy and smooth seconds-hand motion underscore Grand Seiko’s reputation for technical excellence. The case back features an engraving unique to this limited edition, marking its exclusivity and highlighting the connection to the Hong Kong market. The Jozankei’s combination of cultural reference, refined craftsmanship, and high-performance movement makes it not just a luxury watch but a piece that captures the natural beauty and artisanal precision for which Grand Seiko is renowned.
