An iconic 44GS with a dial inspired by Mt. Iwate SBGJ203 features Grand Seiko's modern 44GS design, a contemporary take on a watch that first launched in 1967 and formed the cornerstone of the Grand Seiko Style. This modern interpretation of the 44GS is one of Grand Seiko's best known designs, and it remains a pillar of the brand's catalog today. The black dial features Grand Seiko's iconic "Mt. Iwate" pattern, inspired by the many-ridged contours of Mt. Iwate, which is visible through the windows of Studio Shizukuishi where Grand Seiko mechanical watches are made. Multi-faceted hands and hour indexes give the dial depth and dimensionality and are emblematic of Grand Seiko design, and a red GMT hand adds a pop of color.
