The design:
The Grand Seiko SBGJ237 is elegantly handcrafted to ensure perfection and precision. Every detail has been thoroughly finalized before the design has been approved. The beautiful blue color of the dial couples elegantly with the stainless steel bracelet, and the three-fold clasp ensures that the watch sits snugly on the wearer’s wrist. The dial-work is beautifully done with the numerals lighting up in the evening, using the trademark Grand Seiko Lumibrite. The watch is not only elegant but also functional in terms of design.
Every part of Grand Seiko timepieces, from the dial to the bracelet, have been handcrafted to perfection by the best watchmakers of the world. The dial is waterproof up to 20 bar and offers excellent low light visibility, making it the perfect blend of practicality and elegance.
The specifications:
The dial is brilliantly crafted to display three time zones. It is protected using a shock-absorbing dual-curved sapphire glass, which also has an anti-reflective coating on the inner side. This timepiece has an accuracy of -5 to +3 seconds a day. It also has a booming 55 hour power reserve and is usually powered by the Caliber 9S86, which gives the watch a hi-beat frequency of 36,0000 vibrations every hour with 37 jewels in its dial.
