Grand Seiko Sport Collection GMT Watch with Green Dial, 40.5mm

Item # WGSB2484

The rich fecundity of nature in Japan is central to the inspiration of many Grand Seiko designs. SBGE257, for example, has a dial whose color echoes the rich green of one of the 2,000 types of moss that can be found in Japan. There is something eternal about the moss that thrives at the base of trees or on garden stones, which is why it is so often used in Bonsai create the sense that time passes inexorably onwards. This sense is enhanced by the glide motion of the Spring Drive seconds hand as it moves continuously and silently across the dial.

Equipped with a GMT hand, this watch features Grand Seiko's unique Spring Drive caliber, which combines the motive force of a mainspring with the high precision of a quartz watch. Housed in a water-resistant stainless steel case with ceramic bezel, a 24-hour GMT hand and LumiBrite indices for exceptional precision and legibility complemented by the smooth motion glide of Spring Drive.

Stainless steel with ceramic bezel exterior with a screw case back. Glass material is dual-curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on inner surface. This watch also includes LumiBrite on hands and indexes. Case diameter measures 40.5mm, lug-to-lug is 48.7mm and has a thickness of 14.7mm. Band measures 20mm in width. Three-fold clasp with push button release.

When you first see this GMT watch, it is the deep green dial that strikes you. As you move, its color seems to change so that it presents an ever-changing and always intriguing aspect. But the watch's true character only reveals itself when you put it to the test. The ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal are almost impervious to scratches. The Spring Drive movement offers excellent shock resistance. The screw-down crown is inset at 4 o'clock for safety. The watch is 20 bar water resistant and thanks to its compact 40.5 mm diameter and curved profile, it sits perfectly on the wrist. Truly, a watch for all seasons.

For Grand Seiko, form and function are inextricably entwined. Take the dial of this Spring Drive watch. The GMT hand is yellow so that it stands out from the dial and is also different in shape from the other three hands. The letters GMT are picked out in the same yellow to make an instant visual connection. The color is not only an attractive accent; it has a specific function. And so with the ceramic bezel. It is in the same green as the dial so that the 24 hour indicators stand out clearly. It looks right because it is right.
