The Grand Seiko Heritage Spring Drive Four Seasons SBGA413 or the Shunbun takes a poetic approach to the brand’s first automatic watch, the celebrated 62GS. Depicting the spring season in a never-seen-before style, the Shunbun is a delightful illustration of Grand Seiko’s craft. Its mesmerising pink dial with a textured surface recreates a special moment of the Japanese spring called Hana-Ikada when Sakuras or the cherry blossoms are scattered all over the surface of the river by the wind. The perfection and understated personality of the dial create a soothing harmony, a vista that’s eye-catching but not overpowering.

High-intensity titanium contributes heavily to the unique look of this SBGA413, as it appears darker in shade than how a stainless steel watch would look. Also, it makes the case surprisingly lightweight, even with a thickness of 12.8mm. The brushed finishes offset the polished surfaces on the case, while the 40mm size and a bezel-less construction optimise wearability. Overall, the watch’s got an impressive wrist presence.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
