The year 2012 commemorates the 10th Anniversary of the 1st Grand Seiko to posses a fourth hand, displaying GMT time. To honor this achievement, Seiko has released 2 GMT Limited Editions and this is one of them, the SBGM029 GMT is to honour the regular production SBGM001. The dial is a gorgeous deep blue with gold GMT hand, boasting the official Grand Seiko colors. This is the 1st time a Grand Seiko mechanical GMT has ever been exhibited with a blue dial. The blue dial is incredibly executed, with a pretty vast range of hue. In bright lit settings, the dial is obviously a rich royal blue. Take it to a slightly darker room and it deepens to a navy blue. In a fairly dark setting, the dial looks black. The nice part of the dial, is that one can get the range of all three shades, depending on the angle you look at the watch. The gold GMT hand has perfect contrast and compliments the blue perfectly. Legibility is a key element to Grand Seiko and this watch lives true to the tale. The combination of brushed and Zaratsu polished hands and markers only add to the legibility. Another favourite part on this piece (as well as on any Grand Seiko) is the movement. Seiko has taken the impressive 9S66 movement with 35 jewels, Spron 610 hairspring (for supreme durability and elasticity), and Spron 510 mainspring (for 72 hr power reserve as well as supreme durability and elasticity) and added something special to this commemorative Limited Edition. Overall, the SBGM029 is a truly gorgeous timepiece, with a limited production run of 700 pieces worldwide.
