Spring Drive 8 Day SBGD209

A jewelry Masterpiece inspired by the white lion

Produced in Shiojiri by the skilled craftspeople of the Micro Artist Studio, SBGD209 is the newest timepiece from the Masterpiece Collection. The lion has long been the symbol of Grand Seiko. Made from Platinum 950, the “Tokyo Lion” case of SBGD209 features an angular design and measures 44.5mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness. Its sharply defined edges and prominent ridges are made possible by first cold forging the alloy, and then by implementing a unique adaptation of the Zaratsu polishing technique developed specifically for use with Platinum 950.

112 diamonds are fixed to the outer surfaces of the case, and an additional 60 baguette diamonds are applied to the bezel. The diamonds on the bezel and the lugs are set so precisely that they appear to create a single flat surface. A brilliant-cut diamond is set into the crown.

The dial has  a pattern representing the mane of the lion, and it is done in white. Carefully selected black spinels and baguette diamonds are tapered and serve as minute and hour markers. These gems are meticulously set by hand between a very thin pair of 18k white gold rails by the most skilled craftspeople from the Shinshu Watch Studio’s jewelry studio. The seconds hand is tempered to a gray color to match the overall tone of the dial.

Powering the watch is caliber 9R01. This Spring Drive movement is produced by a dedicated team at the Micro Artist Studio. It offers an accuracy of 10 seconds per month and an eight-day power reserve. 

SBGD209 will be offered in a limited edition of just 5 watches.
