This collection spans three limited editions. In this review, we cover the GMT versions SBGC230 (Rose Gold) and SBGC231 (High-Intensity Titanium). Note that pictures of both are a bit mixed throughout the review, the one on the leather strap is the rose gold version, the one on the bracelet is the Titanium version – easy enough. We will cover the SBGA430 in a separate review.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Spring Drive, Grand Seiko presents a new design in its Sport Collection. “The design draws its inspiration from the strength and power of the Grand Seiko lion, the mark that has long been the symbol of Grand Seiko. Available in three limited editions, this new design series features two different and specially adjusted Spring Drive calibers”.
You got me all excited and then I saw the pricing, yikes. Sadly no go for me at that pricepoint. Grand Seiko pricing seems to be slipping away from my fingers, upwards and onwards it seems.
