This Grand Seiko Sport GMT Spring Drive SBGE255 is in EXCELLENT condition. This watch includes its original box, operating instructions, warranty booklet, and limited warranty card.
The Case
The Grand Seiko SBGE255 case comes in stainless steel with a 14.7mm thickness. The entire case is 40.5mm, which is what we have been waiting for from GS. The bezel is made of blue ceramic with a deep blue fixed dial. The bezel features a 24-hour scale written in white to give a contrasting touch. To be both utilitarian and luxurious, Grand Seiko has used brushes for zaratsu polish along the sides.
The Dial
The ultra-navy blue dial of the SBGE255 features a date window at four o’clock to keep track of the date. The 72 hour power reserve indicator sits right between 8 and 9 o’clock.
On the SBGE255, the GMT hand comes in a bright blue/cyan color, which complements the rest of the dial. Grand Seiko did not go for the archetypal dauphine duo for the minute and hour hands; instead, they used a square, block-like hour and minute hands. The SBGE255 minute and hour hands were created with faceted baton and wedge indices, allowing for each component of the dial to coexist and harmonize.
The Movement
Considering the Spring Drive movement and caliber 9R66 power source, the 14.7mm thick case is quite appropriate. The Spring Drive movement is famous for performing brilliantly. The wearer can adjust the GMT hand according to local time without disturbing the movement.
The Bracelet
The bracelet is made of stainless steel, which takes the weight of the watch to only 172g. The bracelet is Tri-linked, connected to both ends of the case, along with a push-button three fold clasp.
The Most Ideal Watch
The SBGE255 was created with sophisticated artwork, traditional craftsmanship, and a commitment to providing wearers with the feel of “the ideal watch.” It reflects ownership, accuracy, durability, and reliability. Every inch of the Grand Seiko SBGE255 watch is elegantly finished, either brushed or polished to perfection, while providing shine and matte.
