There’s no doubt that Grand Seiko is responsible for some of the best contemporary watches in the world.
With their stunning craftsmanship, in-house movement technology, creative sense of aesthetics, and eye for detail, the high-end spinoff of Japanese powerhouse Seiko is keeping the Swiss on their toes. Whether it’s a simple, time-only dress watch, a complicated GMT, or a constant-force tourbillon, Grand Seiko’s wares are some of the finest in any class.
This particular GS, an SBGE249 from the 2020s, is a special edition for Timeless Luxury Watches — now part of Watches of Switzerland. Housed in a 41mm stainless steel case with ‘holey’ lugs, a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a polished bezel, it features a satin silver hammered dial with a white, 24-hour rehaut and applied indices, a matching Dauphine handset, a power reserve at 7:30, and a date.
In outstanding condition throughout and powered by Grand Seiko’s innovative Caliber 9R66 Spring Drive movement, it comes fitted to a stainless steel multi-link bracelet with s signed push-button deployant clasp and ships with its factory goodies.
With one look at this stunning dial, it’s easy to see where the ‘Blizzard’ moniker comes from. Pair that with a Spring Drive movement and a beautifully designed case, and you’ve got yourself one heck of a GMT watch.
Don’t let this one get away!
