Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 Mount Iwate SBGJ235G 2015 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Grand Seiko Hi-Beat GMT reference SBGJ235G captures the profound essence of Japanese craftsmanship, seamlessly fusing technical precision with natural inspiration. A distinguished member of Grand Seiko’s Heritage Collection, this 40mm stainless steel GMT watch houses one of the brand’s most advanced mechanical movements in a case defined by the meticulous mirror polishing (Zaratsu) and clean lines characteristic of Grand Seiko.

The centerpiece is the deep blue dial, inspired by the twilight views of Mount Iwate, the mountain visible from the studio where the watch is made. The dial is etched with delicate vertical striations reminiscent of the mountain's rugged ridgeline. This unique texture shifts subtly under changing light, giving the watch a dynamic, almost breathing quality. The function is highlighted by a distinctive, contrasting brown GMT hand, which sweeps around a 24-hour ring, providing a warm, legible accent against the cool blue dial.

Beneath the surface beats the in-house Calibre 9S86, a high-performance Hi-Beat movement operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour. This remarkable frequency ensures exceptional precision, rated to a static accuracy of $-5$ to $+3$ seconds per day. The movement delivers a robust 55-hour power reserve and is beautifully finished, visible through the sapphire caseback—a visible testament to Grand Seiko’s mechanical artistry.

Paired with a robust and finely finished stainless steel bracelet, the SBGJ235G is an ideal companion for international travel and refined everyday wear. This watch offers more than functionality; it tells a story of the meticulous craftsmanship and the natural beauty that surrounds Grand Seiko’s studio. Rich in detail and distinguished by its unique dial, it is a quietly sophisticated piece for the discerning collector.
