Hi folks
Up today I have one of the most overlooked Divers, but likely the most comfortable and MOST bang for buck divers, I’ve had the chance of owning.
The SBGA461 comes in a steel case/bracelet but unlike its other titanium brethren, has a familiar weight and incomprehensible comfort to boot.
The watch has comparisons drawn to a submariner, and though there are a few similarities (it’s a dive watch), the 461 is a piece unto itself.
The bracelet has a buttery smoothness, and coupled with the mix of brush and polish, this is every bit a luxury piece as it is a tool.
The smooth sweep of the seconds hand from the 9R65 Spring drive movement, draws your eyes outward to the perfectly executed hour markers and ceramic bezel, reminding you that this is yet another Grand Seiko that needs to be seen to be appreciated.
This model differs slightly from the outgoing SBGA229 as the numerals on the bezel are slightly smaller, and there is now a lume pip on the 3 o clock position of the rehaut in keeping with ISO standards
The clasp has on the fly micro adjustments, coupled with a flip lock while the non crown case side and a couple links bear a few signs of desk diving along with the clasp.
The watch comes in at 44mm in diameter and about 14mm thick. Pictured for reference on my 7.5” wrist, it wears similar to a 42mm watch or more commonly the SMP300.
If you’ve been yearning for a submariner and have yet to try out a spring drive, look no more.
Retail is $7900 plus tax, I’m asking $5250 shipped from the GTA, f2f for slightly less
