The SBGR305 or the first modern single logo Grand Seiko
The SBGR305 I find to be quite an intriguing piece. It introduced the single logo (at least for the modern era), a new movement that was subsequently hardly used, a much larger date wheel and came with a new case design (in titanium) and a lovely grained ...
