Grand Seiko Sport Spring Drive Chronograph SBGC247

A limited edition Chronograph that captures the beauty of winters in Shinshu 2022 marks the 15th anniversary of Grand Seiko's first Spring Drive chronograph, and to celebrate this important milestone Grand Seiko presents SBGC247, a limited edition Spring Drive Chronograph GMT with a dial inspired by the wintery mountains of Shinshu. Rendered in High-Intensity Titanium, the case measures 43.5mm in diameter and 16.1mm in thickness. It features an eye-catching combination of mirror-polished and hairline-finished surfaces, which is made possible due to the type of titanium alloy used here and Grand Seiko's Zaratsu finishing method. High-Intensity Titanium is also notable for its lightweight quality (relative to steel) and its resistance against corrosion. A dual curve sapphire crystal sits on top of the dial. A sapphire crystal on the case back offers a view of the 9R96 Spring Drive Chronograph GMT movement within. Caliber 9R96 offers an impressive accuracy of ±0.5 seconds per day, and, because of the distinct nature of Spring Drive, the chronograph function measures elapsed time to the exact moment and not just to the nearest fraction of a second, a feature made possible courtesy of the glide motion hand. The GMT feature also has jump-hour functionality and SBGC247 can two separate time zones. SBGC247 is a limited edition of 700 watches.
