Quick TakeThe SBGJ251 is not just a time-telling device; it's a wearable depiction of Shunbun, the Japanese spring equinox. The dial, a vibrant verdant canvas, mirrors the blossoming mountain slopes where wild cherry trees awaken. Its rose gold-tone accents, in playful, contrast to the sea of green, whisper of the first warm sun rays filtering through frost-kissed branches. Beneath this captivating exterior resides the 9S86 movement, a highly precise self-winding engine offering a GMT function. The box-shaped sapphire crystal isn't just a window; it's a magnifying lens, showcasing the precise ticking of time. A stainless-steel case and bracelet ensure both durability and a classic, elegant look. It's a harmonious blend of art and engineering. The inclusion of a see-through case back secured with six screws invites one to view the detailed operation, turning a functional item into one of admiration. This timepiece isn't just worn; it's experienced, a constant reminder of nature's elegant cycle and the precision of human craftsmanship.

DescriptionThe Grand Seiko SBGJ251, from the Elegance Collection, is encased in stainless steel, exhibiting a robust yet refined construction. It has a see-through case back, secured by six screws, allowing an unobstructed view of the intricate movement within. Protecting the dial is a box-shaped sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on its inner surface to minimize glare and enhance legibility under various lighting. Dimensionally, the case has a diameter of 39.5mm, a lug-to-lug measurement of 46.9mm, and a thickness of 14.1mm. The bracelet, also crafted from stainless steel, integrates a three-fold clasp with a push-button release, designed for secure and comfortable wear. Its band width is 19mm. The total band perimeter measures 185mm.

Powering the SBGJ251 is the Caliber 9S86, an automatic movement that also allows manual winding, demonstrating Grand Seiko's dedication to mechanical precision. This movement offers a power reserve of approximately 55 hours, which is enough for over 2 days of use. The 9S86 features a high accuracy, which shows a mean daily rate of +5 to -3 seconds per day. This precision is measured before assembly in a controlled test that evaluates the rate in six varying positions, lasting 12 days. The movement incorporates 37 jewels, enhancing its longevity and reducing friction between moving parts. The watch's water resistance is categorized as splash-resistant. A magnetic resistance of 4,800 A/m protects the movement from common magnetic fields. The watch is 150g. Functionally, the SBGJ251 provides a 24-hour hand for dual time display, and it supports a calendar-linked time difference adjustment functionality.
