Grand Seiko ‘Mid-Heaven’ Mechanical GMT Limited Edition 39.5mm Watch SBGM253

There are just 1,700 pieces of this limited-edition design available globally, created to mark the 25th anniversary of the 9S Calibre. The signature textured dial is inspired by the view from Mount Iwate near the Shizukuishi Watch Studio where Grand Seiko mechanical timepieces are made. The blue dial colour represents mid-heaven or ‘??= Ch?ten’ – the sky you can see when looking even further upwards from the top of the mountain. ‘The Nature of Time’ theme features prominently in Grand Seiko watch designs – a Japanese spirituality where each moment is a unique expression unveiled through light and shadow. The watchmakers’ pride in their surroundings is represented from engineering watch movements which emulate the smooth motion of time passing, to creating dials reflecting the beauty of Japanese nature. This watch is powered by the mechanical in-house Calibre 9S66, with a power reserve of 72 hours, accuracy of +5 to -3 seconds per day and a GMT hand for maximum accuracy in all time zones.
