Grand Seiko Sport Collection GMT Refs. SBGM245 and SBGM247

Grand Seiko replica watches Sport Collection GMT Refs. SBGM245 and SBGM247

A pair of automatic Greenwich Mean Time fly into the sky.

The GMT function has always been a fixture in the Grand Seiko catalog and offers a variety of styles in all movement series. In addition to a wide variety of styles, today, Grand Seiko launched two new GMT styles under the sports series Refs. SBGM245 and SBGM247. Both are designed to be the first choice for anyone who travels frequently.

The diameter of the stainless steel case is 40.5 mm, the thickness is 14.4 mm, and the length between the lugs is 48.9 mm. The nominal depth of the case is 200 meters, the reluctance is 4,800 A/m, and the offset crown at four o'clock is screw-in design to ensure extra safety. The lugs are 20 mm wide and can accommodate a matching three-piece stainless steel bracelet with a three-fold clasp. The top is a hyperbolic sapphire crystal, and the bottom cover is solid stainless steel.

The bezel is made of stainless steel, decorated with a bold 24-hour scale. It is fixed to the case and allows two time zones to be tracked. The case has a combination of hairline and Zaratsu polished surface, highlighting the geometric shape of the design.luxury watches replica

The dial of SBGM245 is blue and SBGM247 is hunter green. Both have a vibrant sunny finish. The hands and hour markers are multi-faceted, beautifully textured, and have plenty of LumiBrite paint to provide excellent night visibility. Legibility is the basic pillar of Grand Seiko's design. The hour and minute hands are both finished with hairline, which contrasts sharply with the dial to ensure visibility.



The GMT hand allows the time to be read in the second time zone, and the hour hand can be adjusted without affecting the accuracy of the watch. The GMT pointer is red on SBGM245 and orange on SBGM247. Its unique shape makes it clear on the dial.

Both watches are equipped with Grand Seiko's automatic Greenwich Mean Time 9S66 movement. This is a real GMT movement, which means that the local hour hand can be adjusted independently, while the GMT hand remains fixed at the "home" time. The direct benefit of this feature is that when arriving at a new location in a different time zone, the owner only needs to move the hour hand forward or backward in one-hour increments to the appropriate time without resetting the used watches for sale.

The 9S66 movement is rated at +5 to -3 seconds per day (at rest), has a duration of 72 hours, and has 35 jewels. Like all Grand Seiko mechanical movements, the 9S66 is made by skilled watchmakers in the Shizukuishi Watchmaking Workshop.

Grand Seiko reference. SBGM245 and SBGM247 are Grand Seiko Mastershop models, which will be launched in November 2021.

 


Grand Seiko SBGY008, inspired by Shizuri-yuki

The new Spring Drive creation captures the winter scenery of Shinshu in a special case.

In the winter in Shinshu, all Grand Seiko Spring Drive watches are carefully made there, providing a variety of short and unforgettable scenes. One such scene is called Shizuri-yuki, or when snow falls from the branches and creates a sparkling waterfall. The SBGY008 rose gold case is inlaid with diamond lines, and the sliding second hand quietly floats on the white textured dial, bringing the essence of Shinshu's gentle winter landscape and the instant beauty of Shizuku Snow into life.swiss watch replica

The 18k rose gold case has a diameter of 38.5 mm, a thickness of 10.2 mm, a length of 43.7 mm, and a lug width of 19 mm. It has a hyperbolic sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating (the highest point is about 2 mm high), and there is a sapphire crystal glass on the back of the exhibition.

This case design is called the "dress series" and was first launched in 2019. Inspired by the shape of a sail full of wind, its goal is to create a slimmer appearance for formal watches. The curvature of the case is the most obvious in the outline. Although the case is relatively thin, the case is still highly complex, emphasizing both the ergonomic design on the wrist and the aesthetic beauty.

The case has a total of 53 diamonds, hand-set by skilled craftsmen in Shinshu Watch Studio. Their arrangement makes their size gradually decrease from the center of the case to the end of the lugs, thereby producing a beautiful flowing effect. The diamond surfaces are also perfectly aligned, creating an even sparkle, reminiscent of the essence of Shizuri-yuki.replica watches sale uk



The texture of the white dial mimics the bright and fresh winter snow of Shinshu. This is achieved by hammering the dial mold to create its patterns and circles. The hour markers are multi-faceted, curved to the dial, as are the minute and second hands. The latter is manually bent, because the pointer falls between the dial and the crystal without touching any part of the tight tolerance. All in all, the dial uses exquisite and organic patterns, which embodies Grand Seiko's Nature of Time brand philosophy.

SBGY008 achieves an extraordinary blend of slimness, power and precision with its manual winding movement 9R31. The first thing you will notice is that the power reserve has been removed from the dial and transferred to the movement side of the watch, creating symmetry on the dial.

On the technical level, the 9R31's double barrels achieve a greater power reserve by accommodating two barrels in one barrel, thus keeping the movement extremely compact. The ingenuity behind the design is that these two springs are longer and thinner than the typical mainspring, and by unfolding them at the same time, the movement achieves a power reserve of up to 72 hours without any loss of torque.replica Jacob & Co. watches

9R31 has a single nose bridge and is decorated with exquisite hairline finishes. Exposed jewels, tempered screws and some gear trains can be seen through the splint, making the movement decorative. The hairline finishes are carefully hand-painted by skilled craftsmen in Shinshu. All in all, although there are more than 200 parts used for the chronograph movement, the 9R31 is the thinnest Spring Drive movement produced by Shinshu Watch Studio.

SBGY008 is paired with a brown leather strap with elaborate stitching on both sides. The watch is equipped with an extra satin gold leather strap. SBGY008 will be sold in a limited edition of 60 pieces at Grand Seiko in January 2022. Audemars Piguet watches replica
