Quick TakeThe SBGR261 is a quiet symphony of traditional watchmaking. It does not scream; it whispers sophistication. The flawlessly polished, gently curved stainless-steel case contains the 9S65 automatic movement that you could easily call a heart. It's a heart that beats with unwavering precision, promising a deviation of only a few seconds each day. The ivory-toned face acts as the perfect canvas, across which those polished markers, and that stunning heat-blued seconds hand, seem to glide over. Secured to the wrist with its rich brown crocodile leather strap, this isn't just a time-telling device, it's an essential part of daily style. Think of boardrooms, quiet upscale bars, special occasions – locations where understatement and refined elegance are the true marks of distinction. The three-day power reserve ensures that you can switch it out and not have to worry about winding it.

DescriptionThe Grand Seiko SBGR261 is encased in a 39.5mm diameter stainless steel housing, demonstrating a meticulous balance between presence and wearability. The case's overall thickness measures 13.1mm, while the lug-to-lug dimension spans 46.9mm. The exterior exhibits a sophisticated construction with a see-through case back, secured by six screws, allowing visual access to the intricate mechanical movement within. Component protection is managed via a box-shaped sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on its inner surface to improve dial legibility. The brown band, which consists of crocodile leather, creates a stark and beatiful color difference with the blue steel second hand and ivory dial, offering an elegant touch. This band fastens via a three-fold clasp, featuring a push-button release. The specified perimeter of the band is 187mm.

The core of the SBGR261 houses the Caliber 9S65, a self-winding, automatic movement, also capable of manual winding. This movement's performance is highlighted by an approximate 72-hour power reserve, allowing for three days of continuous operation without requiring winding. Precision is paramount, as defined by a mean daily rate ranging between +5 to -3 seconds per day. It features 35 jewels, which reduces friction and ensures parts last. The mean daily rate is obtained through a stringent testing protocol that measures the pre-assembled movement across six positions for 12 days in a controlled environment. The watch's functional capabilities encompass splash resistance. Also it has a stated magnetic resistance, measured at 4,800 A/m. The entire watch assembly weighs 84 grams.
