A beautifully finished modern Grand Seiko GMT powered by the legendary high-accuracy 9F86 quartz calibre - 2023 - Box and Papers

Grand Seiko was introduced in 1960 as Seiko’s pursuit of the ideal wristwatch, combining precision, durability and refined craftsmanship. Created to compete with the finest Swiss timepieces, Grand Seiko quickly became known for its exceptional accuracy and meticulous finishing. Over the decades, the brand developed innovative technologies including high-beat mechanical and Spring Drive movements. Today, Grand Seiko is celebrated for its understated elegance, technical excellence and distinctly Japanese approach to watchmaking.

What's on Offer

This Grand Seiko SBGN029 is a superb example of the brand’s ability to combine cutting-edge precision with understated everyday luxury. Featuring a striking deep blue dial paired with a bold red GMT hand, the watch delivers excellent legibility alongside the sharp, highly polished finishing Grand Seiko has become renowned for. The fixed 24-hour bezel gives the watch a purposeful travel-ready aesthetic while maintaining the refined proportions that make this 39mm watch so wearable.

Presented in excellent (near mint) overall condition and supplied with its original box and papers dated July 2023, this example benefits from Grand Seiko’s exceptional calibre 9F86 quartz GMT movement — one of the finest quartz calibres ever produced. Unlike standard quartz watches, the 9F86 is engineered to an extraordinarily high standard, featuring jewelled construction, independently adjustable GMT functionality and remarkable accuracy.

The 39mm stainless steel case wears beautifully on the wrist, while the Zaratsu-polished surfaces catch the light in the distinctive way only Grand Seiko seems able to achieve. Complete with an extended eight-year warranty, this is a modern Grand Seiko that offers precision, practicality and finishing quality far beyond what most expect from a quartz watch.
