Introducing a new addition to Grand Seiko’s Sport Collection: the travel-ready Hi-Beat 36000 GMT SBGJ277, inspired by the snowy valley, or sekkei in Japanese.
With its robust construction, high-functioning movement, and captivating aesthetics, the new timepiece provides to be a dependable travel partner capable of adjusting to any circumstance.
The magnificent mountain scenery of the remaining snow juxtaposed with greenery on a summer mountain is reproduced in the contrast of the snow-white colour of the textured dial alongside the green of the rotating bezel and its ring of sapphire glass.
Additionally, the bold and meticulously finished hands and indexes are generously coated with Lumibrite paint at the cardinal points, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions.
Operating at 36,000 beats per hour, the Caliber 9S86 boasts a 55-hour power reserve and achieves an accuracy rating of +5/-3 seconds per day.
Endowed with genuine GMT functionality, this model allows for independent adjustment of the local hour hand while the GMT hand remains fixed to the “home” time zone. With two 24-hour tracks – one on the dial and another on the rotating bezel – the SBGJ277 can effectively track three time zones simultaneously, making it an ideal travel companion.
The SBGJ277 retails for PHP 432,500 and will be available at Grand Seiko boutiques and authorised retailers from May 2024.
