As we approach the end of summer, Grand Seiko is helping us to keep dreaming of azure skies into the fall with two GMTs inspired by the view from its Shizukuishi Watch Studio near Tokyo.
The Grand Seiko Sea of Clouds GMT (SBGJ275) captures the sky on a slightly cloudy day while the Mid-heaven GMT (SBGM253) dazzles with a bright sunray sky blue face.
Both are powered by in-house hi-beat mechanical calibres, with their blue oscillating weights visible from the back.
The Sea of Clouds GMT is a masculine 44.2mm and has a day/night 24 hour bezel for the second time zone.
Mid Heaven GMT is a trimmer 39.5mm, and its bright blue dial is certain to appeal to both men and women.
Grand Seiko offers the same dial in a three-hand automatic with date.
The Sea of Clouds GMT is limited to 2,000 pieces worldwide and is on sale now for $7,600.
The Mid Heaven GMT, with a production run of 1,700 is retailing for $5,600.
