Launched as a re-issue of the Grand Seiko Self Dater from 1964, the Grand Seiko Self Dater SBGV011 is a limited edition collection of just 900 pieces that pays homage to one of Grand Seiko’s first date-equipped timepieces, which featured a modified cal. 3180 movement. Featuring a meticulously crafted 37mm stainless steel case, the SBV011 boasts chamfered-edges with Grand seiko’s famed Zaratsu high polish and brushed surfaces that meet to create a plethora of razor-sharp lines that lead to elegantly tapered drilled lugs. Boasting a stunning black dial, the SBGV011 takes close inspiration from Grand Seiko designs of the past, the Self Dater to be specific, with its dual branding and minimal aesthetic flourishes, with only applied hour markers and no GS logo as is typically found on the brand’s modern watches. Powered by the renowned 9F82 quartz movement, the Self Dater guarantees unparalleled accuracy and reliability, boasting an impressive precision of ±10 seconds per year. This movement also includes a date function – as its name suggests, which adds a practical functionality to its refined aesthetic.

Inspired by the Self Dater from 1964, the SBGV011 is a faithful combination of vintage aesthetics, modern watchmaking and Grand Seiko's iconic historical catalog.
