The case is, as often with Grand Seiko, on the thick side at 14.7mm.ĭesign-wide, the SBGE253, 255 & 257 there are no surprises but the overall effect is pleasant. Balanced, well-proportioned, with enough presence to bring a reassuring feeling but also compact enough to be comfortable and relatively discreet. While the design of these new Sport GMT Spring Drive is undeniably GS, the proportions are pleasantly compact, with a diameter of 40.5mm – known as the sweet spot for a daily sports watch. In short, this is Japan’s answer to the all-rounder GMT watch that is the Rolex GMT-Master II… but with Grand Seiko’s technology. What Grand Seiko presents today is basically scaled-down versions of the SBGE201 with a slightly different design and, the main update, far more compact cases. Its design has recently been used to create new models with automatic, hi-beat movements with the references SBGJ239 and SBGJ237, introduced a couple of weeks ago. Grand Seiko’s best-known traveller’s watch is the large, quite bulky SBGE201, equipped with a Spring Drive movement. These three new models are, as you can expect from their robust and casual look, from the Sport collection, which already includes multiple GMT watches.
Grand Seiko has clearly divided its collection into three ranges Elegance, Heritage and Sport. One watch, three references for three different colours.
The black SBGE253, the green SBGE257 and the blue SBGE255, all identical to the exception of the dial/bezel colour. Here are the Grand Seiko Sport GMT Spring Drive SBGE253, 255 & 257. Following the robust Hi-Beat SBGJ239 and SBGJ237, the brand now presents a more compact model with its in-house hybrid movement. This year, Grand Seiko continues its expansion with the introduction of many new models, which also includes watches from the Sport Collection – and this year, there’s a strong focus on one of our favourite complications, watches made for travellers with a GMT function.
