Grand Seiko SBGM239 GMT HODINKEE SS Blue Dial LIMITED

The Grand Seiko SBGM239 Limited Edition for Hodinkee is a compelling expression of Grand Seiko’s artisanal mastery, released in 2020 as a U.S.-exclusive run of just 500 pieces. Its 39.5 mm stainless steel case, finished with distortion‑free Zaratsu polishing, offers a refined yet robust presence on the wrist. The twilight blue “Yugure” dial, inspired by dusk, transitions from matte indigo to bright cobalt depending on light, while the grey GMT accents lend subtle contrast and legibility. Powered by the in‑house automatic caliber 9S66, this movement boasts a 72‑hour power reserve and is tested over 17 days in six positions to Grand Seiko’s stringent –3/+5 seconds per day standard. The independently adjustable GMT function enhances travel utility, and the inclusion of a three‑link stainless steel bracelet marks the first SBGM series model offered on a bracelet for U.S. collectors. Individually numbered and bearing a Hodinkee engraving on the caseback, this edition holds both technical refinement and collector appeal in equal measure.
