Quick TakeThe Grand Seiko SBGD201 is a captivating horological masterpiece. From the Micro Artist Studio, this timepiece is an embodiment of elegance and precision. Featuring a rare platinum 950 case polished with the newly developed Zaratsu technique, this model offers a refined look and feel unlike any other. The "diamond-dust" dial evokes a Suwa region winter morning, while the box-shaped sapphire crystal adds a touch of classic sophistication. This watch houses the Spring Drive Caliber 9R01, providing an eight-day power reserve. The crocodile leather strap, three-fold clasp, and substantial 43mm diameter all contribute to a weighty presence on the wrist. This is a manually wound, meticulously-crafted timepiece that exemplifies the pinnacle of Grand Seiko's watchmaking prowess–it's a wearable piece of art that whispers tales of meticulous craftsmanship and understated luxury.

DescriptionThe SBGD201, from Grand Seiko's esteemed Masterpiece Collection, is meticulously crafted, exhibiting an unparalleled level of detail. It's case is meticulously constructed from platinum 950, a blend comprising 95% pure platinum, ensuring both durability and a premium aesthetic. This model is the beneficiary of a newly developed Zaratsu polishing technique, meticulously applied to achieve an unprecedented, sharp, defined edge and refined finish on the platinum case. The case has a diameter of 43.0mm, a lug-to-lug measurement of 51.8mm, and a thickness of 13.2mm. It is paired with a see-through, screw-in case back, offering a view of the intricate movement within. Complementing the luxurious case is a pristine white dial, finished with a unique composite that creates a "diamond-dust" effect, designed to emulate the sparkling frost of a winter morning in the Suwa region, near the Micro Artist Studio. This special treatment not only adds visual allure but enhances legibility. The timepiece is completed with a box-shaped sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on its inner surface for clarity.

Powering the SBGD201 is the Caliber 9R01, a hand-wound Spring Drive movement, hand-assembled by the skilled artisans at the Micro Artist Studio. This movement's performance is marked by an accuracy of ±10 seconds per month, which translates to an impressive ±0.5 seconds per day. It boasts a remarkable power reserve of approximately 192 hours, or eight days, visualized through a power reserve indicator on the watch. Functionality is further enhanced by a time difference adjustment feature. The watch is fitted on a 22mm wide band made of crocodile leather, secured with a three-fold clasp with a push-button release, designed to fit a wrist perimeter of 195mm. The timepiece has a total weight of 168 grams. Its robust construction provides a water resistance of 10 bar, and it maintains magnetic resistance up to 4,800 A/m. Additionally, the movement houses 56 jewels, contributing to its smooth operation and longevity.
