Fantastic Seiko 9F86 Quartz GMT Caliber Debuts in Three New Models

In 1993, back when it was as yet a sub-brand of the principle Seiko gathering and hardly known outside its local Japan, Grand Seiko presented its first select quartz development, Caliber 9F. Among that spearheading development's characteristics were a momentary date-book change for the day-date show; a "kickback" auto-alter instrument that forestalled shivering of the seconds hand; a twin-beat control framework for expanded torque, which took into consideration moment and second hands that achieved the distance to the dial's edge; and an uncommon shield that shielded the rigging train and engine from residue. Most essentially, Caliber 9F kept up an accuracy of only +5 to - 5 seconds of the year, which implied Seiko could guarantee that watches furnished with it were "the most astounding performing on the planet" in their class. This year, in celebration of the 25th commemoration of gauge 9F, the now free and incredibly famous Grand Seiko adds a GMT intricacy to its lead quartz development, appearing it in three new watches, one a restricted version.

Fabulous Seiko Caliber 9F86 joins new parts, made particularly for this development, which take into account the free change of the GMT hand while as yet keeping up then watch's timekeeping exactness. In spite of the expansion of these new segments into the base Caliber 9F development, the thickness of the new watches' cases have expanded just somewhat over those of their forerunners (simply 12.1 mm altogether), inferable from an updated mainplate and rigging train and another, physically executed hand connection process. The focal GMT hand, similar to the principle hour and minutes hands, is mounted individually pivot to guarantee smooth activity.

The 25th commemoration dedicatory version timepiece (above), which is constrained to 800 pieces, has a 39-mm-width treated steel case and a metallic charcoal dial with a particular alleviation design dependent on the customary image for quartz and a five-pointed star — symbolizing, the brand says, the +5 to - 5 seconds-out of every year exactness — over the 6 o'clock position and straightforwardly under the sign "GMT." The date shows up in a window at 3 o'clock. The focal yellow GMT hand focuses to a second time zone demonstrated on the bezel's 24-hour scale, and an area of the dial's external edge, likewise showed in yellow from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock, makes it simple for the wearer to see initially if the GMT hand is demonstrating AM or PM.

Both non-restricted adaptations of the new GMT watch — the most recent increases to the developing Grand Seiko Sport accumulation — have the equivalent 39-mm steel case and wrist trinket and offer either a dark dial with an orange GMT hand (above) or a blue dial with red GMT hand (beneath). The AM/PM crescent from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock is in these forms executed in a shiny metallic shading that stands out from the upper piece of dial's rib. On the majority of the new GMT models, Seiko's Lumibrite iridescent material is utilized on the hands, the bolt tip of the GMT hand, and the connected hour lists for upgraded clarity. The cases are water-impervious to 100 meters and attractive impervious to 4,800 A/m.

The 800-piece memorial release (Ref. SBGN001) will be estimated at around 3,600 euros, Seiko says, and will be accessible in October in select markets. The dark dialed and blue-dialed non-restricted pieces (Ref. SBGN003 and SBGN005, individually) will be accessible in January 2019, evaluated around 3,200 euros.

Grand Seiko Limited Edition 9F Quartz SBGN001  Box & Papers  **Near Mint**

Back at the end of August, it was almost like Grand Seiko knew it was my birthday.  You see, it was that day that they decided to announce two new watches commemorating some 25-year anniversaries.  While there were two styles introduced, my interest immediately went to the Grand Seiko Quartz GMT.

I mean, you utter that combination of words – Grand Seiko, GMT, and quartz, you know you’re up for a fun combination.  Why quartz, you ask?  Well, that’s a question that Grand Seiko answered 25 years ago, so let me give you their words on the topic:

When Caliber 9F was created in 1993, the goal was straightforward but ambitious. As the quartz caliber for Grand Seiko, it should set new standards of durability and precision and should allow all the aesthetics of Grand Seiko to be fully expressed. Innovations in every aspect of the move- ment design were required to achieve this. A backlash auto-adjust mechanism eliminates any shudder in the seconds hand, the date changes in the blink of an eye, a twin-pulse control system allows the minute and seconds hands to extend right to the edge of the dial and high precision

is ensured by the use of aged and individually selected quartz crystals. Thanks to these unique characteristics, Caliber 9F can lay a strong claim to being the highest performance quartz watch in the world.

You’ll notice, that’s just talking about the 9F quartz movement.  For this new line of watches, they’ve introduced the first-ever 9F GMT movement.

Frankly, looking at these, these are classic GMT styling with the fixed bezel, day/night chapter ring, and colorful GMT hand.  Mix in the Grand Seiko styling and (one presumes) build quality and attention to detail, and these definitely look to be instant classics.  I’d be queueing up for one right now (they’re not available until January 2019) if it weren’t for one thing – the price.  So, perhaps these go onto the Grail Watch list.  You see, the Grand Seiko Quartz GMT pricing starts at $3,200, while the 25th anniversary limited edition (800 pieces; black/yellow color combo) comes in at $3,600.  Some may balk at that for a “lowly” quartz movement, but for me, if it’s in the Grand Seiko line, this seems like it would certainly be merited.  Just leave a blue dial one for me, alright?  grand-seiko.com
