The artisanal talent that goes into the design and manufacturing process of a GS dial alone is simply stunning. Depending on the angle, the color and composition of a textured Grand Seiko face will look completely different. They’re truly works of art steeped in Japanese tradition. This particular GS, an SBGM239, is a special, limited edition GMT-equipped model for HODINKEE dating to the 2020s. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case with ‘holey’ lugs, a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a polished bezel, it features a matte blue dial with applied high-polish stainless steel indices with a matching ‘alpha’ handset, a silver ‘broad arrow’ GMT hand, an inner 24-hour scale, and a date. Powered by the in-house, automatic 9S66 movement from Grand Seiko — a movement tested for 17 days and adjusted in six positions and compensated for temperature changes — it comes paired to a stainless steel multi-link bracelet with a signed, push-button clasp. In excellent condition, it even ships with its factory goodies. Handsome, well sized and easy to use — the local hour hand can be jumped in either direction in one-hour increments — this is the type of GMT watch we’d like to see more of. OVERALL CONDITION The case is in outstanding condition overall showing only faint signs of wear from gentle use. Luminous matte blue dial with applied indices is in as-new condition with matching 'Dauphine' handset. Signed crown. Sapphire exhibition caseback.
