RARE Grand Seiko Diver SBGX115

Parkbury's View:
Oh, my! Where to begin? Hand finished bracelet on this absolutely stunning sports watch. A nicely made timepiece with the "Zaratsu" treatment on the lugs. ADLC coating on the bezel.  Satin finishing on the titanium hands.  Extra reliable 9F caliber inside.  Perfectly symmetrical dial.  Absolute winner!.

Dunn's Assessment:
I would say that this is easily one of Grand Seiko's best quality sports watches. A very wearable piece which begs to be taken out for an adventure.  Fantastic everyday watch! 

Story behind the watch:
We all know that Seiko has a long history of diver's watches and this model is GrandSeiko's first ever Quartz diver. Not all quartz movements are born equal and the annual accuracy of this beast with its 9F61 caliber is +/-10 seconds PER YEAR!! The SBGX115 is very wearable with it's gorgeous white dial and slim profile.  The case is also highly anti-magnetic (to 16,000A/m) and, of course, shock resistant.  The servicing of this watch is required only after a mind-blowing 50 years.  This is a true sports watch that can handle most situations with the highest level of accuracy and reliability.

• Lug width: 22mm
• Strap/Bracelet: Excellent ratcheting dive extension deployant steel bracelet with several micro-adjustments.

Opinions of notable watch connoisseurs
"Today, high-end quartz exists (thanks mostly to the Japanese) as a way of combining the very real benefits of a quartz watch with attention to detail and quality that watch collectors and enthusiasts demand." -- A Blog To Watch
