Grand Seiko Mechanical Hi-Beat, ref. SBGH001. Long time a watch collectors item, the Grand Seiko has been revered as one of the finest watches Japan produces. Until 2010, obtaining a Grand Seiko proved difficult for many watch collectors, the watch was only available in Japan, necessitating a trip to Japan to purchase one, or turning to the used watch market to secure one themselves. In 2010 that was the 50th anniversary of the Grand Seiko line of watches, Mr. Hattori, Seikos president & CEO, announced that the Grand Seiko line would be released worldwide. The Grand Seiko line is, without a doubt, among the best built watches in the world. The quality, precision and aestethics is worldclass. All the parts of the watch is produced in-house, by the strictest standards. This Hi-Beat is made of stainless steel and features a stunning dual-curved sapphire glass. The watch measures 40mm x 13mm and weighs 151 grams. The movement is an automatic Cal. 9S85, with 37 jewels, with an accuracy of +5/-3 seconds per day. A truly remarkable watch, that comes as a complete set.
