In Japan, each of the four seasons of the year is experienced in six phases and all have their own distinct characters. The subtle changes from one to the next bring the nature of time ever closer to our senses. Each GMT watch in this new collection celebrates one of the year’s 24 seasonal phases or "sekki."

Representing "Winter" is SBGE269. The winter solstice is in Toji. The days are short, the air is crisp and clear and snow muffles the sound of the wind. The dial has the texture and color of a winter landscape as the sun sinks lower in the sky.
