Another watch from the Grand Seiko Heritage Collection, the grey dial SBGH279 is a Grand Seiko timepiece that they say “pays homage to the 44GS model from 1967 – a watch whose design was the first ever expression of the uniquely Japanese Grand Seiko Style, a style that has been the brands visual signature ever since.”

This watch comes in at a case diameter of 40mm and has a thickness just over 13mm. The case is of stainless-steel construction and offers 100m of water resistance. The crystal is a dual curved scratch resistant sapphire featuring antireflective coating on the underside and the watch is running the high beat 37 jewel calibre 9S85 movement. All of this for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $6100 USD.

The linen like texture of this grey dial is another one that is difficult to capture on camera and no doubt the videography herein will not do the watch justice. It is really something best seen in person to fully appreciate the subtle beauty. That said, to my eye and for the person looking for something interesting yet still understated, it’s a great looking dial that won’t stand out and demand the attention of every casual onlooking glancing at your wrist.

The stainless-steel applied markers and logo, as well and the dauphine handset of the SBGH279 are meticulously applied and finished, as one would come to expect from the brand. The framed date window and the dial printing are equally well done, and you might even notice a little detail on the chapter ring visible under macro, concentric circular striations that match the finishing on the applied markers.

The watch case and bracelet are in the familiar Grand Seiko design theme seen across much of the range of timepieces in their collection and of course feature something the brand is best known for, their high-quality finishing and zaratsu polishing. The bracelet terminates into a dual trigger deployant clasp that is signed with the Grand Seiko logo. And as nice as the watch looks in the hand, it feels just as good on the wrist. Not exactly a surprise but as with all watches you can never be sure until you try it on for yourself in person.

The Calibre 9S85 high beat automatic movement can be seen through a limited-edition inscribed display case back. The movement beats at 36,000 vph, has 55-hour power reserve, and is advertised as delivering accuracy in a range of -3 to +5 seconds per day. The movement is nicely decorated with Geneva striping and gold-filled branding and accents.

For the person looking for something from Grand Seiko that has a similarity to a watch like their SBGA211 snowflake, but perhaps prefers stainless steel over titanium or wants a dial that is a little more subtle and under the radar, this SGBH279 model is a must see.
