Quick TakeThe Omiwatari SBGY013 is not merely a time-telling device; it's a wearable expression of nature's artistry. The dial, reminiscent of Lake Suwa's icy expanse, is a canvas of delicate texture. Feel the smooth, cool presence of the stainless steel. The nine-row bracelet doesn't just encircle your wrist; it molds to it, becoming an extension of yourself. Beneath the exquisite surface lies the innovative Caliber 9R31, Spring Drive, hand wound to provide a seamless, flowing seconds hand, like a skater gliding over ice. A glimpse through the exhibition caseback reveals the beating heart of this mechanical wonder, complete with a power reserve indicator, a subtle reminder of the 72 hours of unwavering precision held within. It's a piece for someone who sees beyond, that wants to be different. The subtle elegance of the SBGY013 is its ultimate personality. Splash resistant and with a 38.5mm diameter, this watch blends in beautifully with any surroundings.

DescriptionThe Grand Seiko SBGY013, part of the Elegance Collection, represents a fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and advanced horological engineering. The stainless steel exterior presents a refined appearance, meticulously crafted to reflect Grand Seiko's commitment to precision and quality. The case dimensions are carefully considered: a diameter of 38.5mm, a lug-to-lug measurement of 43.7mm, and a thickness of 10.2mm. This results in a timepiece with a substantial, yet wearable presence on the wrist. The caseback uses a combination of stainless steel and sapphire crystal, secured with a screw-down design, ensuring the watch maintains its splash-resistant capabilities. The glass protecting the dial is a dual-curved sapphire crystal, known for its superior scratch resistance. Furthermore, this crystal is treated with an anti-reflective coating on its inner surface, minimizing glare and enhancing the legibility of the dial under various lighting conditions. The bracelet integrates a nine-row configuration, crafted to conform comfortably and precisely to the wrist's shape. Closure is done via a three-fold clasp, designed for secure fastening and ease of use with a push-button release.

The heart of the SBGY013 is the Spring Drive Caliber 9R31, a manually wound movement that demonstrates Grand Seiko's pursuit of accuracy and innovation. The utilization of Spring Drive technology allows for a remarkable level of precision, rated at ±15 seconds per month, which translates to an average daily deviation of no more than ±1 second. A key feature of Caliber 9R31 is its Dual Spring Barrel, which contributes to an extended power reserve of approximately 72 hours (3 days) when fully wound. This extended power reserve minimizes the need for frequent winding. The intricate finishing of the movement, along with a practical power reserve indicator, are fully visible through the exhibition caseback. A visual inspection of the movement showcases the 30 jewels incorporated into its design, each strategically placed to minimize friction and enhance the long-term reliability of the watch. The watch has a band width of 19mm. Total weight is 116 grams.
