Cazalea presents the 2017 Grand Seiko SBGX Quartz collection, detailing the significant brand change of removing the 'Seiko' name from the dial. This post offers a thorough visual catalog of the new models, many of which are re-released versions of existing references, providing essential information for enthusiasts monitoring Grand Seiko's brand repositioning.






















The Grand Seiko SBGX263 is part of the brand's core quartz collection, known for its precision and understated design. This reference embodies Grand Seiko's philosophy of practical luxury, offering a high-accuracy quartz movement within a robust and finely finished case, making it a staple for daily wear.
This model features a stainless steel case and bracelet, housing the 9F62 quartz movement. The movement is designed for accuracy, rated to ±10 seconds per year, and incorporates features such as a twin-pulse motor for driving wider hands and a backlash auto-adjust mechanism for precise second hand alignment. The case is typically finished with Zaratsu polishing, providing distortion-free surfaces.
The SBGX263, like other 9F quartz models, is relevant to collectors who appreciate technical precision and the discreet luxury of Grand Seiko. Its robust construction and high-accuracy quartz movement offer a reliable and low-maintenance option, often considered a foundational piece in a diverse collection.
