Grand Seiko SBGK004 Elegance Urushi 18K Rose Gold Black Dial

The Grand Seiko SBGK004 from the Elegance Collection is a masterful fusion of Japanese artistry and horological engineering, presented as a limited edition release of just 150 pieces. Crafted in solid 18K rose gold, this watch distinguishes itself with a black Urushi lacquer dial, achieved by the intricate application of traditional Japanese Urushi mixed with iron to create a deep jet-black finish. The hour markers and the 'GS' emblem are hand-painted with exceptional delicacy, underscoring the level of craftsmanship. Inside, it houses Grand Seiko’s manual-winding Caliber 9S63, delivering an impressive 72-hour power reserve and running at +5/-3 seconds per day, a remarkable feat for a hand-wound movement of such slim dimensions. This reference marks Grand Seiko’s first foray into a slimmer, dressier case profile within their manual-wind lineup, emphasizing wearable elegance. Measuring 39mm in diameter, 44mm lug-to-lug, and just 11.6mm thick, the SBGK004 achieves wrist presence while maintaining subtle sophistication. The domed sapphire crystal enhances the display of the unique lacquer dial, while the solid caseback is elegantly engraved. These elements combine to make the SBGK004 a showcase of Japanese luxury, highly coveted by discerning collectors for its artistic merit, mechanical prowess, and rarity within the Grand Seiko catalog.
