In August 2020, Grand Seiko released a limited edition Quartz GMT watch exclusively created for Isetan Shinjuku department store in Japan.
The Grand Seiko Isetan Shinjuku limited model SBGN017 features a 39mm diameter stainless steel case. The hand-finished white dial spotlights a unique stamped pattern inspired the bark of a large tree. This dual-time wristwatch is equipped with the 9F86 quartz movement, a recent addition to the brand’s illustrious 9F family.
The dial ring is painted in two tones of blue and white, and you can intuitively distinguish the day and night of the second time zone pointed by the red GMT hand. The steel external bezel features 24H marking with Arabic numbers for even hours.
Limited to 56 pieces, this special watch (reference SBGN017) belongs to the Grand Seiko Sports Collection. It has a water resistance of 100 meters.
The case thickness is 12.1 mm. The back cover is engraved with the lion’s coat of arms and the words “LIMITED EDITION”. The watch is provided with a stainless steel bracelet. The single-push, three-fold clasp features the GS logo.
