Royal Jewelers is an authorized Grand Seiko dealer in the Boston area and offers the Grand Seiko SBGE283 Evolution 9 with Grand Seiko's 5 year warranty. This new GMT design measures 41mm in diameter, 13.9mm in thickness, and 48.3mm lug-to-lug. The case has hairline finished surfaces along its top, side, and bezel. As a point of contrast, mirror-polished facets result in an eye-catching play of light and shadow. SBGE283 is made of High-Intensity Titanium, which is 30% lighter than stainless steel. The hairline-finished bracelet is about 50 to 55% of the diameter of the watch case, and its weight and width ensure a stable fit on the wrist. SBGE283 has a high-contrast black dial. The hour hand is clearly distinguished from the minute hand, and the multi-dimensional indexes ensure legibility. For dark conditions, there is LumiBrite on the hands and indexes. 9R66 caliber is rated to +/-15 seconds a month and delivers a power reserve of three days. The second hand moves in a perfect, silent glide motion, a defining feature of Spring Drive watches.
