GRAND SEIKO CELEBRATES THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GRAND SEIKO 9F QUARTZ CALIBRE
In 1988, the Grand Seiko team made a new quartz calibre that was worthy of the high standards that the brand’s fans demanded. Grand Seiko decided that in order to craft the ‘ideal’ quartz watch, a new calibre was needed that would be even more precise, more durable and more in keeping with the aesthetics of Grand Seiko. In 1993, the Calibre 9F83 was completed. It delivered advances in every aspect. Till this day, the Calibre 9F can lay a strong claim to being the highest performance quartz watch in the world. Introducing the SBGT241, the new limited edition that pays homage to the 1993 design. Its case and bracelet retain the soft contours of the original. In line with contemporary taste, the case is slightly larger, the Grand Seiko name is now at the 12 o’clock position and the dial carries a special pattern based on the traditional Quartz symbol with, above the six o’clock marker, the 5-pointed star which, symbolizes the extraordinary precision rate of + 5 to ‒ 5 seconds a year. This commemorative watch is offered in a limited series of 1,500.
