At 36.5mm in diameter and 11.6mm in thickness, SBGW297’s mid-sized proportions are a throwback to the original 44GS from 1967, but with the full execution of a modern Grand Seiko timepiece. Despite the smaller size, none of the distinct 44GS details are lost. Angles are sharp, and finishing, with the case being polished by hand via Grand Seiko’s signature Zaratsu technique, remains exceptional. The white dial with its sun ray pattern harmonizes with the 44GS case design.
SBGW297 is paired with a stainless steel bracelet with a three-fold claps with push button release.
Assembled by hand by the craftsmen and women of Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi, Caliber 9S64 is a mechanical manual-winding movement with 72 hours of power reserve and an accuracy rating of -3 to +5 seconds per day.
