Reference Number: SBGA031

The Grand Seiko Spring Drive Diver 200m is a large watch in a highly technical style with a wonderfully light stance on the wrist. The watch is made entirely from titanium except for one part which is how it is so light. The watch measures 44mm across the case, 14mm thick with a sloped bezel and 53mm from lug to lug because of the solid end links. 

The bracelet is gorgeous. There is both satin and polish, being hand finished. There is a great amount of hand craftsmanship in the Grand Seiko range. The clasp is over engineered with a clam shell and triggers for absolute security on the wrist. The arms of the deployant clasp are steel which provide an extra layer of security. The clasp also features 25mm micro adjustments for fitting over a wet suit, dry suit or moving with normal expansion of the wrist. 

The dial of the watch is no nonsense inside a case that features incredible high-polished titanium, a finish rarely seen on titanium and finished by hand. Inside this, there is a highly legible diving dial inside a hard anodized metal bezel. You can both feel and hear the bezel as you turn it, both tactile and audible. 

There is a rare usage of a matte lacquer, it is hand applied and provides a subtle backdrop for maximum contrast with the indices and the satin finished titanium cathedral style hands. The lume is produced in-house. 

This is powered by the 9R65 72-hour spring drive movement. This is a combination of quartz and mechanical.
