Stepping in September, Grand Seiko just announced a new reference, entitled “Yuka Momiji” or SBGJ273. Starring a captivating red dial, patterned with striations, the watch’s design also brings to mind autumnal hues, transitional sceneries, as well as lacquered wooden floorboards in traditional Japanese buildings.

Housed in a 39.5mm stainless steel case with a matching metal bracelet, the SBGJ273 is also attired with tonal indices, Arabic numerals, and handset. Powering the watch is the Hi-Beat 36000 GMT 9S86 caliber that’s visible through the open caseback. Other specifications include being waterproof up to 30 meters underwater, 4,800 A/m antimagnetic resistance, 55 hours of power reserve along essential timekeeping functions.

Retailing for $7,100 USD, the SBGJ273 “Yuka Momiji” watch will be available at all Grand Seiko boutiques and authorized retailed later on in the month. For more information, head over to Grand Seiko’s official website.
