Grand Seiko SBGX341 is one of the most unusual sports references of this Japanese manufacturer. The white dial, orange accents and a highly technical case create a very characteristic whole.
At first glance, the watch looks quite minimalist. However, you just need to take a closer look. The orange second hand and accents on the minute ring give it much more character.
What’s more, another spectacle begins after dark. Grand Seiko used two colors of Lumibrite here. Indexes 12, 3, 6 and 9 light up green, while the rest light up blue. Thanks to this, readability is excellent 24 hours a day.
The steel case is 40 mm in diameter and only 11.7 mm thick. Lug-to-lug is 45.3 mm. Therefore, the watch is very compact and fits perfectly on the wrist.
SBGX341 belongs to the sportier Grand Seiko Tough Quartz family. That’s why we get a screw-down crown, WR 200 meters and very high magnetic resistance of 40,000 A/m.
However, the most interesting element is inside. The in-house caliber Grand Seiko 9F61 works here.
And here the word “quartz” really shouldn’t discourage anyone.
The caliber 9F61 offers an accuracy of up to ±10 seconds per year. Moreover, the battery lasts for approximately three years. Grand Seiko treats the 9F series as full-fledged high quartz watchmaking.
The 9F family uses solutions not found in most quartz watches. An example is a system that eliminates the vibration of the second hand and a design that allows the hand to precisely hit the indices.
Thanks to this, the second hand moves extremely precisely. It’s details like this that show why Grand Seiko can make something truly special out of quartz.
The SBGX341 works great as an everyday watch. It is precise, very resistant and virtually maintenance-free. At the same time, it maintains the level of finish typical of Grand Seiko.
