The most prominent feature of the timepiece is its dark blue dial, which has a wave-like pattern reminiscent of the lake just before sunrise, hence the name.

Grand Seikosays how the design represents the ‘Nature of Time’, which is described as “a uniquely Japanese spirituality where time is viewed as nature itself with each fleeting moment, minute and second a unique expression, unveiled through light and shadow…the dual pattern reflects the gentle ripples of the peaceful Suwa lake and this serenity belies its forward-looking accuracy inside,”

The dial features a date complication at the three o’clock position and a sweeping second hand. Grand Seiko says the watch’s accuracy is -10/+10 seconds per month, while water resistance is 10 bar (about 100 metres).

The Grand Seiko Spring Drive Lake Suwa Before Dawn is priced at £8,700 and will be available in February.
