Grand Seiko SBGH331 Heritage Collection Naruto Whirlpools Oceania, a special edition created for, and sold exclusively in the Australian and New Zealand market, in a limited edition and a very small quantity of 150 watches only, SBGH331 featuring a stainless-steel case and gorgeously textured dial with a geometrical pattern that reflects the entrancing swirls of the Naruto whirlpools.
The intricate pattern on the dial is achieved through meticulous craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, showcasing the brand’s commitment to precision and artistry.
To further enhance its beauty, the watch boasts a contrasting gold color second hand and the Grand Seiko logo, a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, ensuring legibility and durability. The watch is powered by Grand Seiko’s renowned Calibre 9S85 Hi-Beat movement operating at 36,000 Hz, known for its precision and reliability, and features a date display at 3 o’clock.
This dial pattern is similar to the previous Whirlpool pieces but does without the small ‘G’ and ‘S’ logos previously used to create the effect so is even cleaner in its appearance. The color is outstanding as well, somewhere between ice blue and Tiffany blue, and pops against the Ever-brilliant steel case and bezel. This hard-wearing alloy is hailed as the world’s most corrosion resistant steel and features a whiter coloring than usually seen in steel, something more along the lines of white gold, and brings out the dial color beautifully.
The case itself is a perfectly sized 39.5mm and showcases the artfully executed Zaratsu polishing throughout.
The watch comes in Mint and Like-New condition, as presented in the photos, that are all taken from the actual watch for sale. The watch is offered complete with its factory presentation boxes and papers dated 2023.
