Grand Seiko SBGN005 GMT Sport Review (Quartz, Blue Dial)
The Grand Seiko Sports GMT Watch is a timepiece that is not just pleasing to the eye but simple to use; one feature, in particular, enables each individual to set - and/or reset - the local time as needed. The best part about this is that it can even be done while the watch is in motion making for a much simpler fix. An added bonus is also included with the purchase of each Grand Seiko Sports GMT timepiece.
In addition to this, the watch exhibits a 24-hour ring - composed of stainless steel - which encircles the face of the piece; in doing so, it displays itself in a way that is both stylish and sophisticated while still staying true to its function. Each black number also makes for a gorgeous contrast against the elegant blue background of the dial - which even goes as far as contributing to the allure of the piece and/or how it is viewed.
The dial color also pairs beautifully with the date dial which takes on a whole new look; this can be seen through the white background with the black numeral. Such a feature allows the dial to be a lot more visible to those who are using the watch, while still allowing the white to stand out against the timepiece's striking blue base. This enables the powerful color combination - that's featured on the watch's face - to come to life. The dial itself, however, is still beautifully outlined with a stainless steel border.
Furthermore, the dial color heightens the appearance of each sapphire crystal - and/or marking - that may have otherwise been masked. Not only that, but the GMT font - and GMT hand - take on a red undertone which helps one identify which hand is which with very little trouble at all. This is especially true since the hour, minute, and second hand are all luminous.
The Grand Seiko Sports GMT Watch also had a two-toned display which makes for a more effective read. Not only that but the gray shade - which lies on the bottom half - compliments the face of the watch. The top half, however, carries no hue - except for its blue base - which helps in separating the morning hours from the evening hours.
In turn, “Grand Seiko” is displayed on the dial of the watch, in fine print; this inscription parallels the already slim appearance of the overall piece without drawing too much attention away from the watch’s character. This adds vibrancy to the presentation of the timepiece by establishing a nice balance between the case of the watch, as well as the face of the watch, which both differ in color. The watch also has a screw-lock crown to help ensure that the watch is sealed from several outside factors that could cause it harm.
The watch as a whole also has a width of only 39 millimeters; such a measurement grants the piece the ability to be extremely versatile and/or worn almost anywhere. In turn, it's not heavy to the point where it can weigh down one's wrist and/or get in the way of day to day activities that the person might engage himself/herself in.
The dial itself is of equal importance as well because of its location on the right side of the face of the watch; it serves its purpose by helping one to not only keep track of the time but the date as well. The Grand Seiko Sports GMT Watch is also water-resistant for up to 100m and sealed so that no harm will come to the piece if/when it comes in contact with the water. This durability helps ensure that the timepiece avoids any damage that can easily be prevented.
As a result, the watch is remarkably made to endure the wide array of activities that it’s put up against. The Grand Seiko Sports GMT Watch also comes with a full factory warranty in case an incident occurs that’s in need of an emergency fix. This watch is priced at a total of $3,200.00 and can be easily found at Exquisite Timepieces where various financing options are available based on the buyer’s preference.
