Introduction
Released in 2018 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Grand Seiko’s 9S caliber, their first mechanical movement in 40 years at the time, the incredible SBGH267 that we have here is both historically important for Grand Seiko and aesthetically consistent with their design language. With an elaborate “G” and “S” alternating diamond-pattern motif on its blue dial and a wonderfully executed 44GS case measuring in at 39.5mm with zaratsu polishing throughout, the SBGH267 in unapologetically Grand Seiko.

THE DIAL
With its spiraling "G" and "S" engraved pattern, the SBGH267's dial takes on a life of its own as its diamonds move from the dial's center and make their way to the dial periphery where they enlarge and become more square in profile.
THE WINDING ROTOR
Emulating the wonderful dial on its other side, the SBGH267'S blue winding rotor is made of anodized titanium and tungsten and sports inscriptions commemorating its limited-edition anniversary status.
