Introduction
Released as part of Grand Seiko's Hi-Beat collection, the ref. SBGJ013 is a stunningly designed timepiece that remains rooted in Grand Seiko's Japanese heritage. Like a lot of Grand Seiko timepieces, the ref. SBGJ013's secret is in its finer details, notably its dial. Featuring a stunning black dial with a subtle vertical pinstriping, the ref. SBGJ013 proudly showcases Grand Seiko’s craftsmanship. Using the same 44GS case that Grand Seiko popularized, the ref. SBGJ013 retains the hallmarks of the brand's aesthetic and puts a unique spin on it through the use of its beautiful dial. Completing the watch is an exhibition caseback that showcases its automatic cal. 9S86, which powers its useful GMT function and beats at an impressive 36000 bph.
