The Grand Seiko SBGH281
It was back in the late 1950s when a small but ambitious team of Seiko?s most talented and skilled watchmakers embarked on a journey to create the very best watch they could. Soon after, in December 1960, the Grand Seiko was born and, at that time, it boasted a level of timekeeping accuracy equal to the superior grade of recognized chronometer standards.
Fast-forward to 2020 and we are now celebrating the 60th year of this achievement and six decades of amazing Grand Seiko watches that are seen as the pinnacle of Japanese watchmaking. Moreover, the number 60, for the Japanese, signifies new energy and rebirth. As such, Grand Seiko has brought forth four timepieces to mark this monumental event. While, all of them have dials of Grand Seiko?s signature blue, each one of these desirable limited edition watches reflect a different aspect of Grand Seiko?s wide range of technical expertise and fine artisanal craftsmanship. FIRST AMONG EQUALS
The 60th anniversary Grand Seiko collection is kicked off with the SBGH281 in the Heritage collection. This watch pays homage to the legendary Grand Seiko 44GS of 1967. The quintessential Japanese mechanical watch, it features the high-beat automatic calibre 9S85. On the watch is a prominent Grand Seiko symbol in gold that complements the bright red second hand.
