Seiko for Spring: Celebrating a Fresh Season with Grand Seiko Watches

Spring in Northern Florida brings a sense of renewal: longer days, lighter layers, and a fresh rhythm to everyday life. It’s also a natural moment to refresh the pieces you wear most, including the watch you reach for each morning. A new season is the perfect time to bring home a new Grand Seiko – something thoughtfully made, beautifully balanced, and built to move with you through the months ahead.
At Underwood Jewelers, we’re proud to offer Grand Seiko watches in Jacksonville & Ponte Vedra Beach for those who appreciate precision, quiet design, and enduring quality. Each Grand Seiko timepiece reflects a philosophy of restraint and refinement, with details inspired by nature and craftsmanship rooted in Japanese tradition.

The Three Movements That Define Grand Seiko
Grand Seiko produces three distinct movement types, each offering a different way to experience time. Each movement reflects Grand Seiko’s dedication to thoughtful engineering. They’re different expressions of the same pursuit of precision.
Spring Drive (9R)
Spring is a season of momentum and forward motion, making March the perfect time to spring forward with a Spring Drive model. Exclusive to Grand Seiko, Spring Drive combines mechanical energy with electronic regulation for exceptional accuracy and a smooth, gliding seconds hand. It’s an ideal choice for those who appreciate innovation paired with craftsmanship.
Mechanical
Powered by traditional watchmaking techniques, Grand Seiko mechanical movements are meticulously crafted and assembled by hand. They reflect the heritage of fine horology and are prized for their lasting performance and refined finishing.
Quartz
Grand Seiko quartz movements deliver remarkable precision and reliability. Each one is individually tested and adjusted, making quartz models a strong choice for everyday wear as your routines shift with the season.

Step Into the World of Grand Seiko at Underwood’s
Grand Seiko organizes its watches into distinct collections to suit different purposes and personalities: Masterpiece, Evolution 9, Heritage, Sport, and Elegance. Here are some of our favorite picks from the Evolution 9, Heritage, and Elegance collections that you can try on here at Underwood Jewelers.
Evolution 9 Collection
Modern design paired with performance-forward engineering.
The Genbi Valley Green Hi-Beat 36000 whispers of spring’s light green energy and pays tribute to the Genbi Valley in Japan that inspired it. It can operate for 80 hours when fully wound before needing another turn, so you can focus on staying in the moment on your Northern Florida excursions.
The dark blue dial of the Spring Drive 5 Days echoes with the same serenity as the body of water that inspired it: Lake Suwa. Not only does this design have a five-day power reserve, so you need to wind it less frequently, but its lower profile and center of gravity translate to comfort that flexes with your every movement and adventure as the sun starts setting later here in Florida.
Heritage Collection
Classic Grand Seiko styling rooted in tradition and nature-inspired details.
Step forward into a new season with the Spring Drive Manual on your wrist. This watch’s style pays tribute to tsuki tenshin, the magical moment when the full moon is at its zenith. The dial features a dynamic sunray press pattern that catches the light as you move throughout the day.
Celebrate the blue skies of spring with the light blue dial of the Automatic SBGR325. Its aquamarine hue harkens to the gemstone that sailors used to wear as a talisman for safe passage across the seas. The watch’s diamond-cut hands, indexes, tempered blue seconds hand, and gold color Grand Seiko logo show how grace and legibility can coexist.
Elegance Collection
Refined silhouettes for more polished occasions and everyday wear.
The black and silver Manual SBGK017 is a refined companion to upgrade all of your spring outfits. The curves of the dial and sapphire crystal echo the contours of the ocean waves. Grand Seiko has also given the band a unique arare or “hailstone” texture, which symbolizes Florida’s spring storms and gives the watch an aesthetic durability for decades to come.
The Spring Drive SBGA407 is ready to accompany you wherever the road leads here in Florida or just beyond, as you make new memories with those you love. Though rooted in Shinshu’s snowy landscapes, this pale blue dial feels to us like spring clouds mirrored on the ocean at sunrise.
