Grand Seiko SBGA433
Description
This is the Grand Seiko SBGA433. When talking about Grand Seiko, the Spring Drive movement immediately comes to mind. Conceived in 1977 and commercially released 22 years later in 1999, the Spring Drive is, among others, one of Seiko’s greatest accomplishments in the world of horology. The movement is often understood on a rudimentary level as a combination between a quartz and a mechanical movement. To delve deeper, the Spring Drive starts off as with many other mechanical watches - with the mainspring that drives a gear train. Unlike other mechanical watches, it ends with a regulator instead of an escapement, resulting in a smooth, continuous motion of the second hand. Spring Drive movements also have a generous power reserve of 72 hours. The SBGA433 is a limited edition released specifically for the Chinese market with a total of 222 numbered pieces. Due to the fact that 4 is considered inauspicious in Chinese culture, there were only 182 actual pieces manufactured. It also displays the textured dial that Grand Seiko is famous for with a dark blue layered finish and their signature power reserve indicator.
