Grand Seiko SBGK017 Watch: A Turning Point For The Brand & How They Beat The Swiss

Подробнее о видео

In today's hands on watch review, I begin my search for the ultimate Grand Seiko as I consider adding one to my collection. Where better to start than with a model that is completely unique and unlike any Grand Seiko before it, and quite possibly an indicator of a new direction for the brand—the Grand Seiko Nanbu tekki dial from the Elegance collection (ref. SBGK017). We'll take a look at the brand's history, design evolution, and technical innovation to fully understand not only the significance of this particular watch, but also why they make some of the best luxury watches in the world, how they beat the Swiss at their own game, and how they will continue to do so. Join me for another free, independent, and in-depth review including positives and negatives of one of the most important Grand Seiko watches that has gone largely overlooked in mainstream watch enthusiast circles. What do you think about the Grand Seiko Nanbu tekki dial from the Elegance Collection? Please share in the comments!
