The 9R01 spring drive movement system was designed to reduce the friction between movable parts thereby reducing wear and tear, and this will result in a lesser need for servicing. Also, it maximizes energy better than most previous movement versions, which makes transmission in the watch more efficient. The 9R01 has 56 jewels, 307 components, has a staggering 192 hours reserve that can last as long as 8 days, making it one of the few watches with such high-power capacity. It has a +5 second accuracy per day, making it one of the most accurate watches in the Heritage collection. The 9R01 movement system alongside a power usage indicator is visible through the transparent screw-down back of the watch. The power reserve indicator is graduated from 1 to 8, and a hand indicates the level of power drainage. Finally, the plates of the 9R01 are beveled and are designed to outline Mt. Fiji, and the highly polished rubies and blued screws to signify the lights in the Suwa region of Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFUNCTIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAside from its beautiful design which makes it an accessory of class, the Grand Seiko SBGD201 has many other functions that justifies its value to its bearer.

For safety reasons, the Grand Seiko SBGD201 is also antimagnetic enabled making which makes it have little or no deviation if used near a magnet or in a magnetic field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISPLAY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the things Grand Seiko got exceedingly right is the display of the SBGD201. Its analog pure white dial reflects a glittering diamond-crust design which was inspired by winter mornings in the Nagano region of Japan, and although there are no Arabic numerals on it, its 12 hours indicator indexes are beautifully arranged to maximize space and accuracy. Two five-sided silver hands representing the hour and minutes sit on the dial alongside a blue second hand which contrasts beautifully against the white dial to enhance its visibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePRICE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can get the Grand Seiko SBGD201 at a price of $59,000\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Seiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175551090859,"sku":"SBGD201","price":59000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2783\/3515\/files\/1088540453.jpg?v=1780591025"},{"product_id":"grand-seiko-elegance-sbgz003","title":"Grand Seiko Elegance SBGZ003 White Dial","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eGrand Seiko SBGZ003 Watch Review\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2019 Grand Seiko celebrated the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e anniversary of its spring drive technology.
