The best Grand Seiko watches ever before, and why they make a difference





Grand Seiko SBGA413 “Shunbun”
A modern interpretation of the well-known 62GS introduced in 1967, the SBGA413 “Spring Equinox” (sometimes called “Sakura”) is actually inspired by Japan’s renowned festive experience, hana-ikada, while cherry blossom petals wander across the river surface right after the spring equinox. It is light pink dial will be delicately textured, making it exclusive in high-end watchmaking.

Exactly why it matters: Originally obtainable exclusively in the US, the Shunbun became a fan favorite in addition to Grand Seiko introduced this to the global market…which should go some way to explaining their popularity and importance. Just like the Snowflake, it embodies lots of the hallmarks of Grand Seiko: a high-strength titanium circumstance with a Zaratsu finish, a nice dial texture with one of a kind colors inspired by nature, and also a Spring Drive movement. In addition, it prompted men to appreciate area pink in luxury wrist watches, and led to the trend regarding pastel shades and light-colored dials we are currently discovering in the watch industry.

Grand Seiko SBGY007 “Omiwatari”
The particular SBGY007 is inspired from the waters of Lake Suwa, southeast of the Shinshu Watch Workshop, where all Early spring Drive watches are made. This can be a timepiece that is classically sophisticated and understated. This hand-wound, time-only Spring Drive costume watch features a light blue face inspired by the long form that forms on the surface regarding Lake Suwa when it rigidizes over, stretching from one aspect of the lake to the other. Usually, this phenomenon is known as Omiwatari, a bridge where Shinto gods walk across the snow.

Why it matters: Since our editor Zach remarks, many Grand Seiko enthusiasts have said that while they think Snowflake is great, they would have desired it to just show the moment, without a power reserve indicator. Even though the dial of the SBGY007 certainly is not really Snowflake, it covers the need. It’s also perhaps the most interesting Grand Seiko dress watch: the light orange dial is a masterpiece inside subtlety.

Grand Seiko SBGH255
The SBGH255 is an uncompromising diver’s enjoy, and the largest Grand Seiko watch ever made, at 46. 9mm in diameter. Built to withstand saturation dives to be able to 600m (no helium avoid valve, mind you) as well as featuring a solid iron watch dial to protect the movement from your harmful effects of magnetic job areas, this “big guy” is indeed a tough guy.

Why that matters: Parent company Seiko is renowned for its professional-grade diver’s watches, and while Grand Seiko has long produced its, this is the first to bear often the GS name. Slightly obtrusive and masculine, this watch shows that superior finishing, top-quality movements and extraordinary calls are more than just cosmetic.

Grand Seiko SBGP017
A quintessential Grand Seiko quartz watch, the actual SBGP017 is equipped with Calibre 9F, which shines through it has the sapphire crystal caseback. This is certainly no ordinary quartz movements or watch: the Tama?o 9F in the SBGV238 is usually assembled entirely by hand simply by two skilled craftsmen and possesses an annual error of at the very least ±5 seconds; its accuracy is because of the brand’s in-house quartz crystals, which are first “aged” for three months, and only the most effective crystals are used in the movement. A star on the lighting azure cloud-textured dial at 6th o’clock symbolizes its high-precision quartz movement.

Why the idea matters: While many luxury watch manufactures are reluctant to show down their quartz movements, Grand Seiko’s Calibre 9F snacks quartz with the respect the item deserves-a reflection of Seiko’s long history of bringing out quartz watches to the planet. The Calibre 9F is definitely beautifully crafted, accurate, and also completely breaks the judgment people have against quartz watches. Quite the opposite is true. In short, the particular SBGP017 is the coolest Categoría 9F: the star routine on the dial, the pink GS logo, and the noticeable beautiful dial all ensure it is extra special.
