If the 60s stood out for musical, technical or design innovations, they were no less so for the Seiko watch house with the birth of the Grand Seiko line. Fifty-six years later, faithful to the innovative spirit of that prodigious decade, it presents the new sports collectionSeiko Spring Drive Limited Edition Black Ceramic. Four watches that display a constant commitment to the pure essence of watchmaking: precision, legibility, comfort and durability. Grand Seiko, with this new commitment, directs the key values of the house in new, exciting and creatively enriching directions.
The Japanese house, unconditional of rigor and originality, combines elegance and sportiness in this new collection. The materials and five-piece construction are designed to offer lightness and resistance both in the case of the two chronographs SBGC015 and SBGC017 and in the models SBGE037 and SBGE039. Its inner case is made of high-intensity titanium and the outer case plus the bezel are made of zirconia ceramic, which adds more strength and resistance than any other ceramic, as well as seven times harder than stainless steel, according to the Vickers scale. This combination of materials makes the case 25% lighter than stainless steel, and virtually immune to scratches. Additionally, all four use Spring Drive GMT calibers.
One of the characteristics that makes these wonderfulSeiko Spring Drive Limited Edition Black CeramicIt is a novelty that Grand Seiko presents: its black color. But those nostalgic for the brand will immediately recognize them by their unmistakable clean cuts on the case, the diamond cut of the hands and their markers. The four creations are another example of the limitless capacity for innovation that characterizes Seiko, always at the forefront of improving the reliability and precision of its designs.
