Grand Seiko elegance titanium sbgw295
Today the new SBGW295 is unveiled to the press and public, a limited edition of 500 pieces celebrating the 110th anniversary of the first Japanese wristwatch.
The true uniqueness of this creation is its superb black dial, where craftsmanship and nature meet:
Each dial is crafted by the individual work of master Isshu Tamura, heir to a 380-year tradition
The black layer of the dial is made from a very rare Japanese lacquer called “urushi”, extracted from specific tree trunks and deeply linked to Japanese tradition.
Applied by hand, it is carefully polished until it reaches its unique mirror-like shine without distortion.
The indexes and lettering are also hand-painted in an ancient “taka maki e” technique, giving the impression of 3D, with 24-carat gold powder.
