Grand Seiko SBGM221
Grand Seiko began in 1960 as Seiko's attempt to build the best watch it could, and its modern mechanical line rests on the 9S family of calibers introduced in 1998. The SBGM221 runs the 9S66, an automatic GMT with hand winding and about 72 hours of power reserve, assembled at the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi.
The case is 39.5mm of steel, 13.7mm thick and 46.9mm lug to lug, under a box shaped sapphire crystal with a display back. The 24 hour scale is printed on the dial rather than a bezel, so the second time zone reads off the same face as local time.
