Grand Seiko, SBGF017, 38mm, 8J56 quartz movement

Seiko is a very innovative brand, and they have a very important place in the watch industry. Their line of luxury watches, Grand Seiko, was created in 1960 by Daini Seikosha and Suwa Seikosha who were two subsidiaries of the Seiko Corporation. The focus was to create a line of watches that could compete with the Swiss watchmakers.

Produced in the early 2000s the Grand Seiko SBGF family used to be Grand Seiko's only sports collection before they started producing divers, GMTs and chronographs.

In the usual Grand Seiko fashion, the watch is well finished in both brushed and Zaratsu polished finishing with brushed finishing more dominant since its a sports watch.

The white tatami textured dial boasts a strongly three-dimensional appearance, thanks to the substantially-sized appliqués and hands. Lumes are applied to both the hands and indices for easy time reading in low light settings.

Unlike the current Grand Seiko sports watches, the watch sits extremely well on the wrist at just 10.5mm in thickness, 38mm in diameter and 44mm lug to lug.

The watch also features a screw down crown accompanied by crown guard.
