Quick TakeThe SBGW293 is a pure expression of Grand Seiko's dedication to craftsmanship and classic design, distilled into a refined 36.5mm package. This timepiece channels the spirit of the legendary 44GS, reborn for the modern wearer who appreciates understated elegance and meticulous attention to detail. Its rich brown dial dances with light, reflecting off the razor-sharp hands and indices, each polished to a mirror gleam by the brand's signature Zaratsu technique. Beneath the surface, the hand-wound Caliber 9S64 beats with unwavering precision, a testament to Grand Seiko's watchmaking prowess. Winding its crown becomes a ritual, a connection to the intricate mechanics within and the heritage it represents. The crocodile leather strap adds a touch of warmth and sophistication, hugging the wrist with a refined comfort. This is a watch that doesn't scream for attention but rather whispers its quality to those who know how to listen. It is truly a companion for life's journeys, a subtle reminder of the beauty found in simplicity and precision.

DescriptionThe SBGW293, part of the Grand Seiko Heritage Collection, is a modern interpretation of the classic 1967 44GS design. The watch features a stainless steel case with a diameter of 36.5mm, a lug-to-lug measurement of 42.7mm, and a thickness of 11.6mm. This model showcases the "Grand Seiko Style" through nine design elements, including sharply angled case lines and a flat, sunray brown dial. The case and hands exhibit Zaratsu polishing, a technique that creates a mirror finish with exceptional flatness and a distortion-free reflection. The diamond-cut indexes and hands are designed to maximize light reflection, contributing to the signature "sparkle of quality" that defines Grand Seiko timepieces. The watch has a box-shaped sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface to enhance legibility. It has a screw-down case back, which provides a secure seal and contributes to the watch's water resistance rating of 10 bar, making it suitable for everyday wear and capable of withstanding exposure to water during activities such as swimming or showering. The brown dial has a sunray pattern that interacts with ambient light, enhancing the visual appeal of the watch's detailed design.

At the core of the SBGW293 is the manual winding Caliber 9S64 movement. This movement is notable for its precision, boasting a mean daily rate of +5 to -3 seconds per day when measured under controlled conditions. In regular use, the accuracy is rated at +10 to -1 seconds per day. The movement features 24 jewels, which are strategically placed to reduce friction and wear on the moving parts, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. It provides a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, or three days, allowing the watch to continue running without being worn or wound for an extended period. It is worth noting that this power reserve figure can fluctuate based on individual wearing habits and the watch's condition. The movement's magnetic resistance is rated at 4,800 A/m, providing protection against the effects of everyday magnetic fields. The watch is fitted with an 18mm brown crocodile leather strap, fastened with a three-fold clasp with a push-button release, offering a secure and comfortable fit. The strap's perimeter is 182mm. The total weight of the watch is 66 grams.
