Grand Seiko GMT SBGM221 is one of the most classic and timeless models of the Japanese manufacture. The warm ivory dial, blue GMT hand and brown crocodile leather strap create an extremely elegant configuration. At the same time, the watch remains very functional thanks to the ability to read a second time zone.
The design refers to classic Grand Seiko watches. That’s why the envelope has soft, flowing lines and very elegant proportions. The characteristic Zaratsu finish additionally highlights the surfaces of the case and allows them to work beautifully with light.
However, the biggest decoration is the shield. Grand Seiko describes its color as ivory, a warm shade of ivory. Its surface has a subtle, slightly porcelain finish, making the whole thing look exceptionally elegant.
The hardened, blue GMT hand provides a great contrast. It indicates a 24-hour scale located inside the hour indices. Thanks to this, the second time zone function has been very discreetly incorporated into the classic dial design.
The envelope is 39.5 mm in diameter, so the size is extremely universal. The watch looks good on both smaller and larger wrists. Moreover, the lug-to-lug length is 46.9 mm, which also ensures a very good fit on the hand.
A convex box sapphire glass adds to the vintage atmosphere. Grand Seiko also used an internal anti-reflective coating. Thanks to this, the glass retains its classic appearance, but at the same time offers modern resistance and very good readability.
Inside, there is a mechanical Grand Seiko 9S66 caliber with automatic and manual winding. The mechanism offers approximately 72 hours of power reserve and operates at a frequency of 4 Hz. Additionally, it has 35 jewels and a stop-seconds function.
The GMT function has been very practical. The local hour hand can be adjusted independently, without stopping the second hand and minute hand. Thanks to this, changing the time zone while traveling does not affect the accuracy of the time.
The mechanism can also be admired through the glass cover. Thanks to this, SBGM221 offers not only a classic style from the dial side, but also the opportunity to observe the mechanical caliber of Grand Seiko.
The brown crocodile leather strap perfectly matches the warm color of the dial. At the same time, it makes the watch perfect for both elegant and more casual styles.
Grand Seiko GMT SBGM221 is a great choice for someone looking for a classic watch with character. It is elegant and discreet, and at the same time not an obvious choice. In addition, the GMT function makes the traditional look a very practical watch for everyday use.
