Grand Seiko didn’t hold back for the 20th Anniversary of their 9S calibre. Most readers will likely be familiar with the SBGH267 “Blue Whirlpool”, but its golden counterpart is perhaps less well known. And don’t be fooled by the solid gold casing -  this variant is more than just a dazzling upgrade. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe History.\u003c\/strong\u003e The whirlpool pattern features 80 radiating curves, segmented with alternating GS letters and Daini Seikosha logos. The GS letters need no explanation, but the Daini symbol might be unfamiliar to those yet to dive into vintage Seiko territory. Daini, one of Seiko's original watch studios, built the legendary 10-beat, 45GS movement, famous for being (partially) responsible for the closing of the Neuchatel Observatory chronometer testing facility in Switzerland. Seiko chose to honour Daini's contribution to the 36,000bph legacy by inscribing its mark on their modern 10-beat flagship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Movement.\u003c\/strong\u003e Flip the watch over and you’ll find an 18k gold oscillating weight - but it’s not just for show. This Golden Lion seal signifies that the movement has been tuned to Grand Seiko’s Special Standard, which not only surpasses the Swiss COSC standard, but also the Grand Seiko Standard. Accurate to -2 to +4 seconds per day, the Special Standard betters the -3 to +5 requirements of normal 9S watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Case.\u003c\/strong\u003e 18k solid gold, but styled like the classic Grand Seiko cases you love. No corners cut - just as perfectly angled and hand polished in Grand Seiko's Zaratsu technique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e In great condition.
