Grand Seiko Heritage "Urban Bamboo" Hi-Beat Automatic GMT – SBGJ259

Grand Seiko’s SBGJ259 is a US Special Edition and part of the Heritage Collection. It is housed in a 40mm stainless steel case that is 46.2mm lug to lug, with a curved sapphire crystal and screw down crown providing 100m of water resistance. This watch case, known as the 44GS, is based on Seiko’s grammar of design, focused on flat, geometrically perfect surfaces polished to best reflect light. This watch is powered by Grand Seiko’s Automatic Caliber 9S86, providing 55 hours of power reserve. This caliber is a high beat GMT movement, beating at 10 beats per second (or 36,000 per hour) with precision of +5 / -3 seconds per day, and is visible behind a sapphire case back. The “Flyer GMT” capability adds a 24-hour hand and allows you to adjust the main hour hand in one-hour jumps, backwards or forwards.

Grand Seiko is known for intricate dials and incredible casework utilizing Zaratsu polishing to create a mirror finish. The vivid “urban bamboo” dial of this watch is inspired by verdant bamboo garden paths and features a dramatic striated pattern that oscillates between different tones of green. Sharp, polished dauphine hands and a neon green GMT hand and script on the dial add further shading. This Grand Seiko comes on a five-link polished and satin finished bracelet with a three-fold clasp and two half links to finely adjust the fit.
