The inspiration for this particular dial is a blizzard in Shinshu, Japan, the home of Seiko's Epson factory – this continues Grand Seiko's time-honored tradition of taking inspiration from nature and the varied landscapes of Japan. Against this silvery white dial you'll notice lots of blue accents, which on occasion reflect off of the mirror-polished hour indexes, adding even more color. The seconds hand and the GMT hand are both heat-blued, and the power reserve hand and scale are blue as well.

What's there to say about a Grand Seiko dial that hasn't already been said? They routinely outshine dials found on watches that cost two or three times the money – watches like this and these are even further proof. You can get a good sense of what the dial looks like here, but as with any Grand Seiko, I do believe that seeing how the light plays off the hands and indexes in person really takes things to the next level.
