Grand Seiko has published a Shohei Ohtani interview page, naming him as a global partner.
Ohtani talks about design, accuracy, and conversations with Grand Seiko watchmakers, saying, “I really like the design, but more than anything, I appreciate the precision.”
Two model codes appear with the interview material and in the product area of the page: SLGB003 and SBGM221.
Ohtani gives Grand Seiko a global sports face for image building, while SLGB003 and SBGM221 become the concrete watches to watch as the partnership starts to circulate.
