  • Catalogue Essay

    Grand Seiko’s caliber 9S was the brand’s groundbreaking entirely new, mechanical automatic movement released in 1998 in two versions, the 9S51 without date, and the 9S55 with date. The movement was fitted with a special hairspring that increased the power reserve of 40 hours to 50 hours, and at the time was only available in Japan. Today, the caliber 9S is recognized by watch enthusiasts for its quality craftsmanship and technical innovation, found on many of their most desirable models.

    The present reference SBGH297, part of Grand Seiko’s Heritage Collection, was released in a limited edition of 260 pieces and only available in five boutiques in Japan. Most strikingly, it is fitted with a turquoise sky-blue dial meant to reflect the spring skies above Ginza, with intersecting lines in a slightly darker blue shade representing the streets of the popular shopping district, located in Tokyo.

    Offered in brand new, unworn condition, it is replete with its full set of original accessories.
