This collection combines Seiko’s mechanical precision with a timeless design inspired by serene Japanese aesthetics. The new models come in two striking dial options: Fern Green, featuring a lush, textured pattern reminiscent of raked sand, and Gold-Toned Sand, which glimmers with hues inspired by the golden light of temple gardens. Both designs are enhanced with intricate [open-heart details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5-sports-bamford), elegantly curved hands, and dual-curve sapphire crystal glass for a sophisticated finish.
