Grand Seiko Heritage Hi-Beat 36000 GMT SBGJ263

44GS in Ever-Brilliant Steel SBGJ263 features Grand Seiko's modern 44GS design, a contemporary take on a watch that was first released in 1967 and formed the cornerstone of the Grand Seiko Style. The case and bracelet are made of Ever-Brilliant Steel, a stainless-steel alloy that features even greater corrosion resistance than what is typically used across the watch industry today. It has a PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number) value 1.7 times higher than that of the grade of steel used in most high-class watches. Visually, it also has a brilliant white hue that enhances the beauty and Zaratsu finishing of the watch. The bright dial features Grand Seiko's iconic "Mt. Iwate" pattern, inspired by the many-ridged contours of Mt. Iwate. Multi-faceted hands and hour indexes give the dial depth and dimensionality and are emblematic of Grand Seiko design, and a blued GMT hand adds a pop of color. Powering SBGJ263 is the Hi-Beat Caliber 9S86, which runs at 36,000 bph, delivers an accuracy of +5 to -3 seconds a day, and offers 55 hours of power reserve. A GMT function allows the user to track an additional time zone, making SBGJ263 an excellent watch for frequent travelers.
