Grand Seiko Sport Watch, 40.5mm Green Dial, SBGE257

The rich fecundity of nature in Japan is central to the inspiration of many Grand Seiko designs. SBGE257, for example, has a dial whose color echoes the rich green of one of the 2,000 types of moss that can be found in Japan. There is something eternal about the moss that thrives at the base of trees or on garden stones, which is why it is so often used in Bonsai create the sense that time passes inexorably onwards. This sense is enhanced by the glide motion of the Spring Drive seconds hand as it moves continuously and silently across the dial.
