Grand Seiko Elegance Collection SBGY017 | The Hour Glass Australia

The Shinshu region is a stunning area in Japan that boasts astonishing sights to behold, and it is also
famous for being the home ground to the Grand Seiko Spring Drive. It is no wonder that the brand’s
visionary designers have always looked to their natural surroundings to draw inspiration for their
beautiful timepieces that pay tribute to the “nature of time”.

The Grand Seiko SBGY017G Beautiful Starry Sky in Shinshu is no exception. The eyes were turned
toward the glittery sky, blanketing the facility after the sunset for this latest incarnation. Limited to only
160 pieces, each timepiece has serial numbers engraved on the case back, which clearly reveals the
movement running the watch. The hand-winding Spring Drive Caliber 9R31 with a power reserve of
72 hours and, like all Grand Seiko timepieces, is impressively accurate (in this case, to ±1 second per
day / ±15 seconds per month).
