Seiko expands its 'Japanese Zen Garden' series with two stunning new timepieces, capturing the tranquility and artistry of traditional Karesansui gardens. 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. The dials’ three-dimensional patterns evoke a sense of movement and natural harmony, embodying the spirit of Zen.

Priced between £480 and £520 GBP, the watches are now available for pre-order through the [Seiko Boutique](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-collection-2) website.
