Recalling the clear blue sky as seen from the top of Mt. Iwate
In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Caliber 9S, Grand Seiko has created a new GMT in the Elegance Collection that takes inspiration from the skies over Iwate.
The dial’s beautiful blue color and sunray pattern are inspired by the clear blue sky over Mt. Iwate, the peak visible from the Grand Seiko Studio Shizukuishi. Like all Grand Seiko GMT watches, it features an independently adjustable local hour hand that enables easy adjustments of the time as one travels. The thermally blued GMT hand, meanwhile, can be set to a time zone of one’s choice. Its corresponding 24-hour scale is printed in blue on the sunray dial.
The watch is powered by the 9S66 movement, which has a power reserve of three days and is accurate to +5 to -3 seconds per day. The movement’s special titanium rotor, which is visible through the exhibition case back, has been turned Grand Seiko Blue through an anodic oxidation treatment.

Give your watch a quick check on a regular basis, wiping down the face and bracelet with a soft cloth, checking the leather on a strap, and making sure that the strap or bracelet is firmly attached to the watch face. Also, while many watches are water resistant, few are truly waterproof, so if you find that moisture or dust has penetrated the case of your watch, bring it into your local Ben Bridge store where we can have one of our watchmakers clean it out for you.

Our best advice on watch maintenance is to never attempt do-it-yourself repairs, no matter how handy you are or how good the instructions are on Youtube. Watches are super complex little machines and only an expert watchmaker should be trusted to get a watch back into working condition. Attempts by an untrained repair person may seriously damage the watch and can even invalidate factory warranties.

In general, having your watch checked regularly by your Personal Jeweler or watchmaker and serviced according to the manufacturer's guidelines should keep it in excellent shape.
