The
famed Japanese watch company Seiko traces its roots back to a watch and
jewelry shop that first opened in 1881 in Tokyo’s Ginza district. Seiko
can mean either exquisite or success in Japanese, two words that the
brand continues to embody to this day. Offering a dynamic range of
timepieces at a variety of price-points, Seiko offers something for
everyone.
Dive pieces by Omega and Rolex have more or less set the standard and most likely already have a place in your collection.
We are pleased to offer a fun and unique option that is both eminently wearable and expertly crafted—the Grand Seiko SBGA029.
First, it possesses a pleasant and full weight for those who enjoy some heft upon the wrist.
The
unidirectional with black insert rotating bezel has luminous dot to
read in low light. Speaking of low light, luminous hands and applied
indexes are prominent against a deep black-colored dial. The curiously
placed luminous dot upon the sweep seconds hand is especially fun to
read.
Additional
features include a power-reserve indicator between 7 and 8 as well as a
date window at 3. The self-winding automatic Spring Drive movement is
driven by caliber 9R65.
As
a true dive piece, you are good down to a terrific 200 m / 20 atm. Look
for a solid case back, screw-down winding crown, and scratch-resistant
sapphire crystal. The rugged stainless steel case measures 44.2 mm in
diameter, 14 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet
with a folding clasp for added safety.
From
its street credo as a solid dive piece to its fun and chunky stylings,
we are pleased to offer this Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGA029 watch here
at significant savings.
Standout feature(s): Terrific 200 m / 20 atm water resistance; handy power-reserve indicator; reliable Spring Drive caliber.
