A Spring Drive chronograph with a hybrid case
Inspired by traditional samurai armor, SBGC223 features a titanium inner case so the watch is light and comfortable on the wrist, and an outer case in black ceramic to protect the parts that would otherwise get scratched through daily or active use. Given that zirconia ceramic is seven times harder than steel, new polishing techniques were required to give the watch Grand Seiko’s distinct distortion-free finish. To keep the black dial as clean and legible as possible, the small second hand is presented in a semi-circle dial that shows 00 to 30 seconds on the inner ring and 30 to 60 on the outer ring. The two different shapes of the propeller hand allow the seconds to be read at a glance. Visible through an exhibition case back is Caliber 9R86, the powerhouse movement driving the watch. It’s a Spring Drive chronograph with a column wheel and a GMT function, and it’s rated to +/-15 seconds a month with a power reserve of 72 hours.

Water Resistance100 Meters
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.
