Grand Seiko Sport Hi-Beat 36000 GMT "Snow Valley" white dial steel bracelet 44,2 mm

The story

In some alpine valleys in summer, the green of the trees and leaves meets the white of the remaining snow, harmonizing in a refreshing landscape. The Japanese call these snowy valleys "Sekkei", a ravishing landscape that inspires this new timepiece.

A mechanical GMT watch joins the Sport collection

This timepiece bearing reference SBGJ277, in stainless steel and water-resistant to 20 bars, owes its distinctive design to its screw-down crown at 4 o'clock and two-tone bidirectional bezel.

Powered by the Hi-Beat 36000 GMT 9S86 caliber, its GMT function thus enables a second time zone to be tracked thanks to a dedicated hand, acting with the 24-hour graduated bezel and flange. What's more, this model boasts an exceptional feature, as the rotating 24-hour bezel enables the time to be displayed simultaneously in three separate time zones.

A refreshing harmony of white and green

To recall the specific landscape of the Sekkei, or snow-covered valleys, the craftsmen at Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi have endowed this timepiece with a refreshing white dial, contrasting with the deep green accents of the GMT hand, bezel flange and insert. To ensure maximum legibility of the time in all light conditions, the hands, indexes and bezel markings are coated with LumiBrite.
