Here's Why Grand Seiko And The SBGA387 Kira Zuri Are Just So Unbelievably Special

In a world where Rolex, Tudor, and Omega take up so much of our attention with their amazing sports watches, it's a breath of fresh air to see and experience the glory of Grand Seiko. There are many things that make Grand Seiko so great and they can all be found in the SBGA387 Kira Zuri US Limited Edition.

So in this video I’m going to get into why I love the Kira Zuri so much and the main reasons come down to the beautiful dial, the incredible case with the zaratsu polishing, and finally the revolutionary Spring Drive movement. These reasons also cover why I love Grand Seiko so much in general and why I used to own two more Grand Seikos namely the SBGM221 mechanical GMT and the SBGT241 with the 9F quartz movement.

Also here are links to two articles, one about how the Spring Drive movement works and about Grand Seiko’s Grammar of Design principles:
