A 37mm USA-exclusive inspired by the Oruri songbird
SBGW279 is a classically styled timepiece with elegant proportions and a design that pulls from the first Grand Seiko dating back to 1960. Inspired by the Oruri songbird that migrates from Southeast Asia to the mountainous regions of Japan during Rikka, the seasonal phase that marks the start of summer, the blue dial of SBGW279 is finished in an eye-catching sunray pattern.
The stainless steel case measures 37.3mm in diameter, 11.6mm in thickness, and 44.3mm in length from lug to lug. It is polished throughout with a distortion-free mirror finish, and the box-shape sapphire crystal harkens back to the look of vintage watches.
Inside the watch is Grand Seiko’s 9S64 manual-wind caliber, assembled by the highly skilled craftsmen and women of Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi. It has 72 hours of power reserve and an accuracy rating of -3 to +5 seconds per day.

Give your watch a quick check on a regular basis, wiping down the face and bracelet with a soft cloth, checking the leather on a strap, and making sure that the strap or bracelet is firmly attached to the watch face. Also, while many watches are water resistant, few are truly waterproof, so if you find that moisture or dust has penetrated the case of your watch, bring it into your local Ben Bridge store where we can have one of our watchmakers clean it out for you.

Our best advice on watch maintenance is to never attempt do-it-yourself repairs, no matter how handy you are or how good the instructions are on Youtube. Watches are super complex little machines and only an expert watchmaker should be trusted to get a watch back into working condition. Attempts by an untrained repair person may seriously damage the watch and can even invalidate factory warranties.

In general, having your watch checked regularly by your Personal Jeweler or watchmaker and serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines should keep it in excellent shape.
