GMT and the cityscape at night
Why is the GMT hand of SBGE201 red? To stand out against the jet black dial? Yes. To differentiate it from the other time of day hands? Yes. But perhaps also it’s to celebrate the magic of the city at night and, in particular, the red lights that gleam from the tops of the skyscrapers as if they were urban lighthouses.
特点
Spring Drive GMT 献给活跃于世界舞台新世代领航者
采用与机械腕表相同的发条做为动力来源，配备媲美石英表等级高精准度的第三类机芯「Spring Drive」，同时配备GMT显示功能的表款。滑动于黑色表盘上的秒针及红色GMT指针，来自独家研发的滑动式运针，给人深刻的印象。Grand Seiko史上首次采用的旋转表圈，表圈的环状部分为双弧面高质感蓝宝石水晶，展现出硬质的透明感、纵深与深度。4点钟位置的表冠，是Grand Seiko睽违38年的设计。主要是针对大表径的考虑，避免干扰剧烈活动时手腕的配戴感。
规格
Sports. Evenings. Anytime. Anywhere.
The sapphire crystal bezel gives this watch a refinement that makes it as suitable for formal occasions as it is for use outdoors. It’s 20 bar water resistant and the Spring Drive movement is resistant to temperature change and shock. Furthermore, it’s ultimately practical; its GMT hand, the 24 hour dial ring and the two way rotating bezel allow you to see the time in up to three time zones at once while the accuracy is maintained even when the zones are adjusted.
A seconds hand that moves in glide motion
Because all the motion within a Spring Drive movement is in one direction, the seconds hand moves in perfect glide motion. Just like time itself, the seconds hand moves continuously and silently with no tick or shudder. Spring Drive expresses the natural flow of time in a uniquely precise and beautiful way. In this GMT Spring Drive watch with caliber 9R66, a second time zone is shown on a 24 hand that is adjusted independently so that the glide motion is never stopped.
How do you make a watch so legible?
The designer of Grand Seiko’s SBGE201 knew that it’s all in the details. See how the tip of the hour hand is exactly the same width as the index so that the exact time can be seen at a glance. Look at how the second hand reaches exactly to the edge of the minute markers for precise reading. And see how the markers at nine and twelve o’clock are different to the rest so that there’s no mistaking the time, even when the watch is at an angle or off the wrist. For Grand Seiko, legibility is an obsession.
