Grand Seiko Limited Edition "Lake Suwa" Spring Drive Watch, SLGA007
A sacred river inspires a very special spring road trip.
If you wish to travel through Tokyo to the western as well as southern regions, you have two options. The first is to drive or even take the train (the Shinkansen connects Tokyo and Nagoya) along the coast, though this particular route keeps you from the interior. The alternative is to mind southwest from Tokyo after which turn north toward Nagano Prefecture, host of the 98 Winter Olympics. If you take the actual E20 highway, you will eventually get to the city of Suwa. Soon after passing through the city center, you will notice Lake Suwa, nestled one of the mountains and surrounded by a couple of Japan’s most important shrines, such as Suwa Taisha. Every 6 years, local residents trip massive logs down the particular mountainside. This ritual is called the Onbashira Festival; typically the logs become new almost holy pillars (*onbashira*), and the take action of riding them is actually both a boisterous vision and extremely dangerous.

Shiojiri is a small town having a population of under 70, 000 and a beautiful organic setting; the area is mainly agricultural, and Seiko Epson is a major local company. I mention all this in order to illustrate that the design motivation for Grand Seiko timepieces stems from the natural world rather than as being a contrived marketing construct; often the silhouette of Mount Iwate in Shizukuishi, as well as the heavy waters and captivating shades of Lake Suwa, happen to be steeped in countless stories for centuries-even millennia. While Lake Suwa has influenced numerous Spring Drive versions, the dial created specifically for your limited-edition SLGA007 perhaps provides the purest interpretation of the lake's crystalline natural beauty and its importance within Japanese culture.
On its release in 2021, the Lake Suwa Springtime Drive model caused the sensation among Grand Seiko enthusiasts, particularly those about the Spring Drive selection. Since the debut of the very first limited-edition Spring Drive product in 1999, the power book indicator has been a signature feature-and a frequent topic associated with debate-among fans.
