There’s no doubt that Grand Seiko is responsible for some of the best contemporary watches in the world.

With their stunning craftsmanship, in-house movement technology, creative sense of aesthetics, and eye for detail, the high-end spinoff of Japanese powerhouse Seiko is keeping the Swiss on their toes. Whether it’s a simple, time-only dress watch, a complicated GMT, or a constant-force tourbillon, Grand Seiko’s wares are some of the finest in any class.

This particular Grand Seiko, a Reference SBGA231 from the Sport collection, is a dive watch on steroids — GS’s first. Housed in a 45mm titanium case with holey lugs, a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a unidirectional dive timing bezel with a black ceramic insert, it features a luminous glossy black dial with a matching handset, a date window at 3:00, and a power reserve indicator at 8:00. 

Powered by the famous Grand Seiko Spring Drive Caliber 9R65, it comes paired to a titanium multi-link bracelet with a signed push-button deployant clasp with diver’s extension.

Leave it to Grand Seiko to dream up a superlative, 200m titanium tool with all the bells and whistles the very first time they design a dive watch.
