Quick TakeThis ain't your grandad's watch, oh no! This is the SBGC275, a beast born from the fiery dawn over Japan's Hotaka peaks. It's titanium armor, sculpted with the ferocity of a lion, houses the legendary 9R96 Spring Drive heart, a movement so smooth it'll make your head spin. But don't let that elegance fool ya, this is a tool watch through and through. With 200m of water resistance, you can take this bad boy from boardroom to seabed without a second thought. And with its glow-in-the-dark GMT hand, you'll conquer time zones like a boss. The dial is a fiery spectacle, a tribute to the very sun that kisses the Shinshu mountains. A symphony of angles, it's a constant reminder that this watch is a testament to precision engineering, to the relentless pursuit of perfection. It's more than just a watch–it's a statement, a piece of wearable art that's as tough as it is beautiful. It's a celebration of 20 years of innovation.

DescriptionThe Grand Seiko Sport Collection's Caliber 9R 20th Anniversary Limited Edition, reference SBGC275, is constructed from high-intensity titanium, offering a lightweight yet robust build, roughly 30% lighter than stainless steel with a notable brighter hue. This model's case measures 44.5mm in diameter, 50.0mm from lug-to-lug, and is 16.8mm thick. This timepiece features a striking angular design with a case and bracelet fashioned in high-intensity titanium, contributing to its featherlight 158g weight, offering a comfortable wearing experience. The case back is a see-through screw-down type, revealing the intricate workings of the 9R96 Spring Drive movement within, while also featuring the "LIMITED EDITION" inscription and a unique serial number. Its bracelet is designed with thick, H-shaped links, ensuring it conforms comfortably to wrists of all sizes. The bracelet is secured with a three-fold clasp that features a secure lock and a push-button release.

The 9R96 Spring Drive movement powers the SBGC275, providing an accuracy of ±10 seconds per month, or ±0.5 seconds per day. It boasts a power reserve of approximately 72 hours (3 days). Noteworthy features include a chronograph with 30-minute and 12-hour counters, a 24-hour hand for dual time display, and a power reserve indicator. The watch's functionality extends to a calendar-linked time difference adjustment. With a water resistance of 20 bar (200 meters) and magnetic resistance of 4,800 A/m, this timepiece is engineered for resilience in various environments. The dual-curved sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, ensures clarity and durability. Legibility is a standout feature, thanks to the Lumibrite coating on the hands, indexes, and bezel, with the hour and minute hands and hour markers emitting a green glow, while the GMT hand and bezel numerals shine blue. A screw-down crown and allergy-safe metal further enhance its practicality.
