A mechanical Hi-Beat in Ever-Brilliant Steel
SBGH299 features Grand Seiko's modern 44GS design, a contemporary take on the 44GS that first launched in 1967 and formed the cornerstone of the Grand Seiko Style.
The dial catches the eye and contrasts beautifully against the multi-faceted hands and hour indexes that give it the depth and dimensionality that are emblematic of Grand Seiko design.
Powering the watch is Hi-Beat Caliber 9S85, which runs at 36,000 bph, delivers an accuracy of 5 to -3 seconds a day, and offers a 55-hour power reserve.

Visually, it also has a brilliant white hue that enhances the beauty and Zaratsu finishing of the watch.
