Grand Seiko Sport GMT SBGE307G

From the time of its first watch in 1960, Grand Seiko has used the lion, the so-called “king of beasts,” as a powerful symbol. Embodying the dignity of the regal creature, with all of its imposing and fierce presence, this model’s strong appearance recalls the animal’s powerful forelimbs, claws, and mane. The lugs, intended to evoke lion claws, have a bold and distinctive shape and appearance, and the case rests firmly yet comfortably on the wrist. The reddish-brown GMT hand quietly makes its presence known on the shining white dial. The watch has a high level of practicality befitting a sports model. This can be observed in the Lumibrite coating on the hands and indexes, which makes it easy to read at night, as well as the formidable water resistance of 20 bar. The watch is powered by the highly precise Spring Drive Caliber 9R66 with GMT, delivering a precision of ±15 seconds per month (equivalent to ±1 second per day).

About Grand Seiko

Grand Seiko emerged in 1960 as a high-end watch line from Seiko, aiming to challenge Swiss dominance in luxury watchmaking. The brand quickly established itself with Japan's first chronometer-grade watch and later gained renown for its innovative Spring Drive technology, which combines the best of automatic and quartz movements. In 2017, Grand Seiko became an independent entity, solidifying its position in the luxury watch market.

The brand's design philosophy, known as the "Grammar of Design," was established in 1967 with the Grand Seiko 44GS. This aesthetic approach emphasizes legibility, refined appearances, and distinctive features like multi-faceted markers and hands, a half-recessed crown, and the meticulous Zaratsu polishing technique. Grand Seiko continues to push boundaries in watchmaking, as evidenced by recent innovations like the "Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon," while maintaining its commitment to precision engineering and unique design language.
