$5,950.00 NZD

Every timepiece is independently inspected, tested, and authenticated by Pilbrows Watchmakers, New Zealand's trusted watchmaking specialists since 1947, before being presented to you by Timeless Luxury.

The Grand Seiko Mechanical Hi-Beat 36000 Ref. SBGH001 is an important modern Grand Seiko, combining the brand's renowned precision finishing with its celebrated Hi-Beat mechanical watchmaking. Featuring a beautifully finished 40.2mm stainless steel case, elegant silver dial and distinctive blued seconds hand, the SBGH001 delivers the restrained design and exceptional attention to detail synonymous with Grand Seiko.

At its heart is the Grand Seiko Calibre 9S85 automatic Hi-Beat movement, operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour. Introduced in 2009, the 9S85 represented Grand Seiko's return to 10-beat mechanical watchmaking and provides approximately 55 hours of power reserve. In this instance, the movement's high frequency is a defining feature of the watch rather than simply a technical specification.

The combination of a sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback, 100-metre water resistance and stainless steel bracelet gives the SBGH001 genuine everyday versatility, while its highly polished surfaces and precise dial furniture provide the refinement expected from Grand Seiko.
