Grand Seiko Sport Diver SBGH289

With its screw-down crown, distinctive hands generously coated with Lumibrite, one-way rotating bezel and water resistant to a depth of 200 meters, this watch provides all the security and legibility that the diver requires. It also offers the precision and durability of Grand Seiko's divers' high-beat movement, Caliber 9S85.
Each hand is different, to ensure that the time can be read easily and without error that they stand out clearly from the dark blue dial. The triangular marker at twelve o’clock ensures that, even at depth, no mistake is made.
Every component is built to last, but all divers know that their watch needs regular maintenance, just like every other device on which his or her life may depend. This is why the case, stem pipe and crown are designed for secure servicing and even the bezel has a four-part design that makes for easy disassembly and re-assembly at the Grand Seiko Service Centers.

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.
