The original 44GS was the watch that fully embodied the βGrand Seiko Style,β a design code driven created in 1967. 55 years later, this design framework continues to inspire new Grand Seiko watches, and celebrating this foundational watch is SBGP017, a Limited Edition timepiece featuring a special dial and a highly accurate quartz caliber. The stainless steel case of SBGP017 measures 40mm in diameter and 10.7mm in thickness, and it features Grand Seikoβs Zaratsu polishing for a beautiful distortion-free finish. The dial is adorned with Grand Seiko's acclaimed Iwao patternβthe light blue color here inspired by the sea of clouds that float around the mountains of Shinshu in the mornings.
