Quick TakeThe SBGH213 is a really nice blend of vintage charm, with that very clean dial and sharp handset, and the rock-solid modern Grand Seiko build. You've got that super smooth Hi-Beat movement ticking away inside, a testament to Grand Seiko's dedication to precision – it's not just about looking good, it performs. The modest size and understated design make it a great daily, and it's not trying too hard. The display caseback is a must so you get that window into the 9S85. The crocodile strap's rich brown color is classic, making it look really great with a lot of outfits. Overall, you get the feeling of timeless and dependable, rather than flashy. It has a refined simplicity that says quality without screaming it. This watch is about substance.

DescriptionThe Grand Seiko SBGH213, part of the Elegance Collection, represents a stylistic homage to earlier Grand Seiko models, thoughtfully integrating elements of past designs with contemporary engineering. Its stainless steel case measures 39.5mm in diameter, with a lug-to-lug length of 46.9mm and a thickness of 13.1mm. These dimensions contribute to a balanced presence on the wrist, suitable for a variety of wrist sizes. A box-shaped sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on its inner surface, protects the dial. The case back is of a see-through design, secured with six screws, allowing observation of the movement. The stated weight of the watch is 85 grams, that contributes to the models wearability.

The watch is powered by the in-house Caliber 9S85, a "Hi-Beat" movement operating at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour (10 beats per second). This high beat rate is intended to enhance accuracy and stability. The 9S85 is an automatic movement, also capable of being manually wound. Its stated power reserve is approximately 55 hours when fully wound. Grand Seiko specifies the accuracy of the 9S85 as +5 to -3 seconds per day. The daily accuracy is described as, a "mean value of daily rates in a condition where the movement before assembly in a case is measured in six positions in a fixed manner under artificially controlled environment for 12 days." The watch's dial features Arabic numerals, creating a style. The brown leather straps are classic. Water resistance is denoted as "Splash Resistant," indicating the watch is not intended for submersion. Magnetic resistance is rated at 4,800 A/m, providing a degree of protection against the effects of common magnetic fields. The movement incorporates 37 jewels, to reduce friction. The band is constructed from crocodile leather, 19mm in width, and secured with a three-fold clasp featuring a push-button release.
