Grand Seiko Heritage Hi-Beat "Icefall" SBGH349

Experience the breathtaking beauty of an icefall with the Grand Seiko SBGH349. The icy-blue dial, inspired by the frozen cascades near Mount Iwate, evokes the texture and depth of ice in motion, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. Crafted from high-intensity titanium – 30% lighter than steel and highly resistant to scratches, rust, and corrosion – the 40mm case of SBGH349 offers enhanced wearability with a 13mm profile and a refined 46.6mm case length. The titanium bracelet, paired with a dual-curved sapphire crystal, ensures both durability and comfort on the wrist. The design draws inspiration from Grand Seiko’s legacy in mechanical watchmaking, reflecting the principles set by Nobuhiro Kosugi and the Caliber 9S introduced in 1998. At its heart beats the Hi-Beat Caliber 9S85, a high-frequency movement operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour. This precision-driven engine offers an accuracy of +5 to -3 seconds per day and a power reserve of approximately 55 hours.
