Quick TakeThe SBGJ273 is like a wearable haiku, a poem in steel and sapphire. The textured red dial, reminiscent of light filtering through autumn leaves onto lacquered wood, immediately invokes a sense of calm and reverence for the passing seasons. Its golden GMT hand feels like a falling leaf caught in a gentle breeze. More than just telling time, this watch feels time. A 39.5mm case, a comfortable bracelet, and a see-through caseback, allow you to appreciate the heart of the 9S86 movement beating within, a fusion of art and a 55-hour power reserve. The movement's hi-beat rhythm ensures pinpoint precision. This isn't just a tool; it's an experience, blending the mechanical mastery of Grand Seiko's watchmakers with a deep appreciation for the fleeting beauty of the natural world. It’s splashproof, keeping its elegance intact.

DescriptionThe Grand Seiko SBGJ273, part of the Elegance Collection, is characterized by its automatic movement and GMT functionality. The watch's core is the Caliber 9S86, a self-winding movement that also accommodates manual winding. Operating at a high frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour (vph), this caliber offers a power reserve lasting approximately 55 hours. Accuracy is maintained within a mean daily rate of +5 to -3 seconds per day. This rate reflects measurements of the movement alone, taken in six positions over 12 days under controlled conditions, prior to casing. The exterior showcases a stainless steel construction, with a see-through case back secured by six screws, allowing view of the movement.

The case has a diameter of 39.5mm, a lug-to-lug measurement of 46.9mm, and a thickness of 14.1mm. A box-shaped sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on its inner surface, protects the dial. The dial itself draws aesthetic inspiration from the autumnal colors reflected on traditional Japanese lacquered floors. It features a striated texture and rich red hues that capture the visual effect of light and color. The dial is highlighted by a gold-tone GMT hand, offering a vivid contrast. Protecting the intricate dial is a box-shaped sapphire crystal. The inner surface benefits from an anti-reflective coating, ensuring clarity. The watch is provided with a stainless steel bracelet, featuring a three-fold clasp with a push-button release. The band width where it is connected to the watch case is 19mm, and with the clasp fitted, the bracelet fits up to 185 mm wrist circumference. It features a 24-hour hand for dual time display and incorporates a calendar-linked time difference adjustment function. The SBGJ273 contains 37 jewels within its movement. The watch offers splash resistance, the weight is approximately 150 grams, and it can resist magnetic fields up to 4,800 A/m.
