Grand Seiko GMT 25th Ann. of the Caliber 9S SBGM253

Elegance Collection
Caliber 9S 25th Anniversary Limited Edition

A limited-edition watch commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Caliber 9S mechanical movement.  Its design depicts the clear blue sky as seen from the top of Mt. Iwate, the soaring peak visible through the windows of the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, where Grand Seiko mechanical watches are assembled. A classic form prevails thanks to this creation’s mirror-finished bezel and case, gently curved lugs with Zaratsu polishing, and a box-shaped sapphire crystal. Inside is the Grand Seiko Caliber 9S66. 

Assembled at the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi by skilled craftsmen and women, the self-winding Caliber 9S66 is a GMT movement that runs for approximately 72 hours when fully wound.

Sky blue dial and tempered blue GMT hand.  The blue 24-hour scale printed on the pale blue sunray dial displays the second time zone, ensuring that subtlety and legibility distinguish the anniversary edition’s design in equal measure.

A special anodized titanium oscillating weight in Grand Seiko Blue.  The timeless watches has a classic profile, yet a see-through case back provides a view of the thoroughly modern 9S66 GMT movement, which has been outfitted with a special titanium oscillating weight that has been colored Grand Seiko Blue through an anodic oxidation treatment.
