Grand Seiko Heritage Hi-Beat Ginza LE SBGH317 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Grand Seiko Hi-Beat Ginza Limited Edition SBGH317 celebrates the artistry and precision synonymous with Grand Seiko while drawing inspiration from the vibrant Ginza district in Tokyo. This exclusive model, limited to just 530 pieces, features a 40mm stainless steel case with a slim 13.3mm profile, embodying the brand’s meticulous attention to detail. Its Zaratsu-polished surfaces and brushed finishes offer a dynamic play of light, enhancing the refined aesthetic. The angular lugs and integrated crown at 3 o’clock contribute to a balanced and sophisticated design, making it a standout piece in any collection.

The dial of the SBGH317 is its most captivating feature, paying homage to Ginza’s rich cultural history and modern vibrancy. The patterned surface evokes the intricate textures found in traditional Japanese art, while its silvery-grey tone reflects the urban elegance of Ginza’s architecture. The bold hour markers and razor-sharp dauphine hands ensure exceptional legibility. A date window at 3 o’clock adds practical functionality, seamlessly integrated into the dial’s symmetrical layout.

Inside the SBGH317 beats the Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 Calibre 9S85, a marvel of horological engineering. This movement operates at 36,000 vibrations per hour, ensuring remarkable accuracy of +5/-3 seconds per day and a power reserve of approximately 55 hours. Its high-frequency performance and robust construction embody Grand Seiko’s dedication to combining traditional watchmaking techniques with modern innovation. A sapphire crystal case back allows wearers to admire the movement, complete with a commemorative Ginza engraving.

The SBGH317 is presented on a stainless steel bracelet with a triple-fold clasp, offering comfort and security. This limited-edition timepiece is a testament to Grand Seiko’s ability to craft watches that are as functional as they are beautiful. Whether admired for its exquisite design, advanced mechanics, or the cultural narrative it represents, the Ginza Limited Edition is a perfect embodiment of Japanese watchmaking excellence and a must-have for discerning collectors.
