Grand Seiko Sport Collection Spring Drive “Tokyo Lion”

In a relatively short period of time, the Lion case shape, which debuted in 2019, has become a fixture of Grand Seiko’s sports watches. Inspired by the enduring symbol of the brand, the emblematic lion that appeared on the back of the first Grand Seiko watch, this angular case has provided a perfect canvas on which to apply the complementary contrasts of Zaratsu polishing and hairline finishing.

Until recently, the Lion form was exclusively found in limited editions. But earlier this year, Grand Seiko debuted a new chronograph GMT version that marked a debut for the shape as a standard production watch. Now, at Watches & Wonders Geneva, a time and date (and power reserve) version has also made its appearance, sending out a powerful roar: The “king of the jungle” is here to stay.
