Grand Seiko Elegance Collection "Shunbun" Hi-Beat 36000 GMT — Ref. SBGJ251 Pre-Owned

Offered as pre-owned, this watch is in unworn condition and includes its original box and papers. Fully inspected and backed by a full warranty, it delivers like-new quality with the value of a secondary-market purchase. The Fresh Green of the Vernal Equinox The SBGJ251 introduces a poetic celebration of Shunbun, the traditional Japanese vernal equinox that marks the arrival of spring. The watch captures the exact transitional moment when cherry blossoms begin to blanket the mountainsides just as the lush, vibrant green of new forest growth emerges beneath them. Its striking, deeply textured dial is rendered in a rich dark green hue, mimicking the fresh foliage soaking in the spring sun. This organic, matte-textured landscape is beautifully punctuated by rose gold-tone accents on the 24-hour GMT hand and the printed "GMT" text, mirroring the delicate warmth of the season's changing light. True Traveler's GMT Functionality and Hi-Beat Rhythm Engineered for global exploration, this timepiece is powered by Grand Seiko's in-house Caliber 9S86. Operating at a blistering high-frequency rate of 36,000 vibrations per hour (10 beats per second), this automatic movement minimizes timing variations to achieve an elite static accuracy of +5 to -3 seconds per day while offering a robust 55-hour power reserve. As a "true" traveler's GMT, the local hour hand can be adjusted independently in one-hour increments without stopping the high-frequency balance wheel or disrupting your home time tracking, maintaining perfect chronological precision while crossing time zones. Classical Contours of the Elegance Case Design True to Grand Seiko's Elegance Collection guidelines, the stainless steel case trades rigid, angular shapes for fluid, rounded geometry that curves organically around the wrist. Measuring 39.5mm in diameter and 14.1mm in thickness, the case balances its mechanical complexity with effortless, everyday wearability. The smoothly contoured lugs and rounded bezel are brought to a flawless, mirror-like finish using signature hand-applied Zaratsu polishing techniques. Topped with a vintage-inspired, box-shaped sapphire crystal that subtly distorts light along the dial's perimeter, the SBGJ251 masterfully blends historic mid-century warmth with contemporary sports luxury.
