Grand Seiko Automatic GMT Watch

The Grand Seiko Automatic GMT is recognized as the most appealing among watches with the superb Caliber 9S. This piece of art joins the highest elegance and a subtle touch of luxury with the main standards of the Grand Seiko Collection, such as ultimate precision, great resistance to different kinds of shocks and amazing comfort.

Last year, when the Seiko Corporation decided to release its most prestigious watch collection worldwide, in order to celebrate 50 years of its production, many lovers of high end mechanical watches from all around the globe met this masterpiece for the first time. It was a big surprise, seeing a timepiece with such a long history as something completely new. Even a bigger surprise was the fact that this watch, with its quality can stand next to Swiss giants. (Compare with the Rolex GMT-Master II.)

However, the only thing that was completely new in the latest Grand Seiko Automatic GMT watches (SBGM021 and SBGM023), was the advanced product of Japanese technology – the Caliber 9S66 self-winding movement. Having the hand-winding capability, this automatic mechanism provides a superb power-reserve up to 72 hours and a remarkable accuracy (+5 ~ -3 seconds per day).

Even those who do not like the conservative design of a watch, can find something classy and beautiful on this one. Its dial looks simple and clear, but at the same time, it is so reach with small details, wonderful curves and finishes, which gives it a nice artistic touch. It features a blue 24 hours track, hand-applied 12 hours markers and a minute track at the outer rim, as well as a nicely shaped date window at the 3 o’clock position. The forth blue GMT hand displays time in the second time zone.

Its fixed bezel that comes in a slightly different shade than its stainless steel case, additionally emphasizes the bright dial. A high definition dual-curved sapphire crystal, with an anti-reflective coating covers the Grand Seiko Automatic GMT on both sides, making the caseback transparent for a clear view on the mechanism.

The best Japanese craftsmen used the special technique of had-polishing to make the case look adorable. With 39.5 mm diameter and 13.7 mm thickness, it matches the mid-sized wrist perfectly. The steel case is available either with a stainless steel bracelet or a brown crocodile strap. Both incorporate a steel buckle, with a three-fold clasp and a push button release.

    Seiko’s dial looks simple and elegant. These models look like modern retro in style. I prefer the Grand Seiko automatic GMT SBGM021 because it has a nice color of the dial and a beautiful brown leather strap.

  2. Jerry Cooper December 31, 2011

    Yes, Walter, these models really have a modern retro style and I like that. The watch SBGM021 is definitely the most beautiful because of its nice strap. On the dial, I prefer interesting rectangles for watches.

  3. Roy Richardson December 31, 2011

    This brand connected the most important characteristics of good quality and style – simplicity, elegance and precision.
