In 2019, Grand Seiko<\/a><\/strong> introduced a new sports watch design inspired by the lion, which has been a symbol for the technical prowess of the brand <\/strong>since its introduction in 1960. Now the Japanese luxury brands adds a new member to the collection, the Spring Drive Chronograph GMT<\/strong>. With its sharp, angular edges and bold case, the design of the new series brings a distinct edge to Grand Seiko sports watches. <\/p>\n

With an ivory-white patterned dial that is reminiscent of the big cat\u2019s mane, the reference SBGC253 lives up to its name. The expressive texture is combined with wide indexes and a bold hour hand, which are all coated with Lumibrite for readability in the dark. The same rings true for the 24-hour scale on the bezel which helps to indicate the time in a second time zone. <\/p>\n

The case is made from Grand Seiko\u2019s High-intensity titanium alloy which is particularly light and robust. Water-resistant to 200 meters, it has a diameter of 44.5mm and is distinguished by the signature hairline finished bold lugs, along with Zaratsu<\/em> finishing on the sides. <\/p>\n

Equipped with a GMT function and a power reserve indicator, the non-limited chronograph is powered by t<\/strong>he Spring Drive Caliber 9R86, which offers an accuracy of \u00b11 second per day and a power reserve of 72 hours. Its top notch finishing quality can be admired through the exhibition case back.<\/p>\n

The Grand Seiko Spring Drive Chronograph GMT (ref. SBGC253) will be available starting March 1, 2023 at Grand Seiko authorized stores. Pricing is marked at $12,000.<\/p>\n
