The SBGH341 pays homage to Grand Seiko's iconic 1967 62GS model, incorporating modern elements while retaining classic charm. Featuring a 38mm high-intensity titanium case and bracelet, it boasts enhanced scratch resistance and comfort. Its dial showcases a rare scene from Japan's Tohoku region, where cherry blossoms are delicately concealed by snow, reflecting the transition from winter to spring. Inspired by this phenomenon, the dial's grayish-pink pattern captures the essence of "Sakura-kakushi," offering a captivating visual experience that varies with light and viewing angle.
At its heart lies the Hi-Beat Caliber 9S85, oscillating at 10 times per second for superior precision and stability. This movement, developed with meticulous attention to detail, ensures accurate timekeeping and provides a practical 55-hour power reserve when fully wound. The SBGH341 embodies Grand Seiko's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship, combining traditional watchmaking expertise with modern technology.
Crafted in the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, the watch celebrates the brand's heritage and dedication to excellence. Its design and functionality reflect the beauty and resilience of nature, capturing a fleeting yet profound moment in time. With its timeless aesthetic and cutting-edge mechanics, the SBGH341 stands as a testament to Grand Seiko's pursuit of perfection in watchmaking.

Perfect perfect size!!!! Finally their brains clicked and they released a 38mm model!!! They need to add more of these in 44GS, Snowflake and other models too
This is the most exciting GS piece in a long while and it is not even limited! Thank you for the review.
I actually considered this watch against the Shunbun and ended up purchasing the Shunbun instead. Although the 38mm case is a better diameter than the 40 mm on the Shunbun, the increased price, no spring drive and the dial differences were the main deciding factors.
If they put the Cherry Blossom and spring drive in this 38mm case, would be a completely different story. I'd happily pay the 20% more.
I think they have nailed this one
38mm and that dial
Just wish their calibre’s were not as thick - 11.5mm would have made this perfect
If you don’t go for the automatic, they tend to be a bit thinner. Maybe worth considering?
@@bradrohrs7748 very true, but none in this case design or size, and the manual wind are usually straight up dress watches
They can't go any thinner on the hi-beat movement
@@gmshadowtraders the new escarpment on their high beat is much thinner than this one
@@BenMwatches hmm I forgot about that latest one. It was quite a big deal wasn't it. But can they fit that into a 38mm 62 or 44gs case?
Do a taper, microadjust on the clasp.
You still won't buy it and will ask for another thing 😁
@@gmshadowtraders would wait and buy them used💪🏼
@@kjakan79 Minus 35 percent? 😁
@@gmshadowtraders 👌🏻
I dont know why GS have the hi beat series instead of spring drive for all their watches. Have both and spring drive is so much better
I’m very torn between this and the SBGA413 😮, need to see which one is slightly more pink to represent the Cherry Blossoms here in DC
You can come by our store and view both --- We are close to DC!
Nice watch but I don’t believe it justifies a higher price over the preExisting Spring Drive Sakura/Shunbun. Seems just like a clumsy price grab (and a poorly timed one, given the unfortunate* state of GS devaluation)
* Well, unfortunate at-large, but not necessarily for those noticing the really good prices in the used market.
Price is awful but I’m sure there will be deals to be had
Looks a bit boring personally. Still love the cherry blossom
