This is the "SBGH267" special limited edition model, produced in 2018 in a limited run of only 1,200 pieces worldwide, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Grand Seiko's high-precision mechanical movement, "Caliber 9S."
The biggest highlight is the limited edition dial design, which showcases an unparalleled intricate detail never before seen in a GS. Based on Grand Seiko's iconic "Grand Seiko Blue," the GS logo and the "S" mark of Daini Seikosha (now Seiko Instruments), which supported the first details in the 1960s, are meticulously engraved as a geometric mosaic pattern radiating from the center. The deep blue, with the vividly contrasting gold second hand, creates an exquisite contrast, giving it the special feel befitting a limited edition model.
The case design features beautiful mirror surfaces and sharp lines achieved through distortion-free Zaratsu polishing, a modern interpretation of the "Seiko Style" aesthetic cultivated by Grand Seiko. While making a strong statement, it is finished in a comfortable 39.5mm diameter size that sits well on the wrist.
At its heart lies the masterpiece high-beat movement "Cal.9S85," which achieves stable ultra-high precision resistant to external disturbances through high-speed vibrations of 36,000 beats per hour (10 beats per second). Through the exhibition case back, the bright blue titanium oscillating weight, colored by anodic oxidation, can be seen, fulfilling the joy of ownership even when the watch is off the wrist.
The case and bracelet show minor scuffs and some dents from daily use, but the beautiful hairline finish on the edges and polishing remains intact, indicating a very clean condition. It is in good condition, suggesting it has been carefully handled, and there are no deep scratches that would stand out on the wrist. You can safely enjoy the exquisite appearance unique to this limited edition model for many years to come.
This is an extremely rare limited edition of 1,200 pieces, with low circulation in the market, still sought after by collectors worldwide as a "masterpiece dial." With its good condition, it is a sure-fire piece for both collection and practical use. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire it at MORI.
