Grand Seiko Hi-Beat GMT Elegance - (Ref. SBGJ249) Product Details
In Japan, each of the four seasons of the year is experienced in six phases and all have their own distinct characters. The subtle changes from one to the next bring the nature of time ever closer to our senses. The GMT watch celebrates one of the year’s 24 seasonal phases or sekki . Sh? sho. High summer approaches and, at last, the rainy season ends. The warm wind creates delicate ripples in the many thousands of lakes and ponds that shimmer in the early summer sun throughout Japan. The wave pattern dial brings Sh? sho to life as the long, tapered seconds hand, driven by the high beat caliber, moves powerfully across the dial. Caliber 9S86: This high-specification movement delivers the same accuracy (+5 to -3 seconds a day) and the same power reserve (55 hours) as the core Caliber 9S85, while also offering the GMT function that the international traveler needs to ensure that the accuracy of the time shown is not compromised when the time zone is changed. The GMT hand shows the time in the home time zone. Pulling the crown out by one notch enables the hour hand to be adjusted without stopping the second hand so that the highly accurate timekeeping delivered by the Hi-Beat 36000 is not lost. Caliber 9S86 is the embodiment of the Grand Seiko ideal of high accuracy, maintaining exceptional precision in both the essential time display and the GMT function. SPECIFICATIONS Case Stainless Steel Glass Material Box shaped sapphire crystal Glass Coating Anti-reflective coating on inner surface Case Size Diameter 39.5mm x Thickness 14.1mm Clasp Type Three-fold clasp with push button release Water Resistance Splash resistant Magnetic Resistance Equipped Weight 150g Other Details/Features: - 24-hour hand - 37 jewels - Calendar-linked time difference adjustment function - Case back with 6 screws - Case back with lion emblem - Date display - See-through case back - Stop seconds hand function
