The dial itself recreates the geometry of Ginza’s streets, while its blue coloration was designed to evoke the district on a clear morning. The intricate surface can appear relatively restrained from one angle before the grid suddenly becomes much more pronounced as the watch catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the dial sits Grand Seiko’s 36,000 vph Caliber 9S85, pairing one of the brand’s most distinctive regional dials with its celebrated Hi-Beat mechanical movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith only 400 pieces produced and availability originally restricted to physical retailers within Ginza itself, the SBGH315 was difficult to acquire even within Japan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden has-[\u0026gt;_:empty]:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-center\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"JDM Horologist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50981730255091,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/4984\/1907\/files\/wts-grand-seiko-sbgh315-ginza-le-fullset-like-new-under-v0-bhhqqras832c1.webp?v=1788684449","url":"https:\/\/jdmhorologist.net\/products\/grand-seiko-sbgh315-ginza-limited-edition-of-400","provider":"JDM Horologist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
