Grand Seiko Reveals Two More Caliber 9R 20th Anniversary Limited Editions

As someone who has always appreciated the beauty of nature and its ability to inspire artistry, I am absolutely smitten by these new limited-edition Grand Seiko timepieces! The radiant red dials, reminiscent of the breathtaking morning glow of the Hotaka mountain range, are a stunning tribute to the power of Mother Nature.


In honor of the 20th anniversary of its Caliber 9R, Grand Seiko has introduced two exclusive timepieces: the SBGA499 and SBGY035. These models feature dials with a vibrant red color reminiscent of the fleeting dawn light over the Hotaka mountain range.

Part of the Elegance Collection, the SBGA499 is dressed in a 40.2mm-wide stainless steel case. Its dial mimics the brilliant red gleam from its inspiration, and it’s finished with sun-brushing for added radiance. Copper pink details echo the warm hues of morning sunlight. With only 1,300 units available, this timepiece carries a price tag of $5,800 USD.

Meanwhile, you can purchase the exclusive 700-piece SBGY035 model, priced at $8,500 USD. This watch’s dial presents a richer and more somber red gradient, enhanced with Grand Seiko’s distinctive textured patterns reminiscent of the rough terrain of the Hotaka mountains. Additionally, hints of copper pink are found on the central seconds hand and GS emblem, evoking scenes bathed in warm colors at dawn.

In November, you can expect the SBGA499 model to launch, while the SBGY035 is set to become available from September onwards. You’ll find both models in Grand Seiko boutiques and authorized retailers. For additional details, check out their official website.
