Grand Seiko Elegance Collection Mechanical SBGW285 Byōka
$4,900.00
Free Benny Bear With $180+ Purchase
A classically styled timepiece celebrating the “Flow of the Seasons.”
The dial of SBGW285 is an expression of Byōka, the transition from summer to autumn. Because the summers in Iwate are short, signs of autumn are already felt in late August, when the surrounding greens are deeper than ever. The watch features razor-sharp hour and minute dauphine hands, and faceted polished indexes mark every hour position. The interplay of light and shadow, synonymous with Grand Seiko design, is on full display from the dial to the case.
The case, inspired by the first Grand Seiko from 1960, measures 37.3mm in diameter, 11.6mm in thickness, and 44.3mm in length. The hard-wearing box-shape sapphire crystal captures the desirable look of vintage acrylic crystals without any of the shortcomings.
Visible through an exhibition case back is caliber 9S64, a mechanical manual-wind movement with 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.
