Watch Description
Grand Seiko "Peacock" - the return of a classic
With its distinctive green dial and pattern inspired by the peacock’s feathers, the original SBGJ227 “Peacock” is beloved by Grand Seiko collectors. SBGJ261 reintroduces the Peacock, this time as U.S. limited edition of 500 pieces with a mesmerizing blue and purple dial.
The dial of SBGJ261 features a texture achieved through an intricate press patterning process. The effect, radiating from the dial’s center, is immediately dazzling, evoking the vibrant plumage of a peacock’s train. Multi-faceted indexes and razor-edged hands offer high legibility and give the dial depth and dimensionality, details that are emblematic of Grand Seiko design.
Powering the watch is the Hi-Beat caliber 9S86, which runs at 36,000 bph, delivers an accuracy of +5 to -3 seconds a day, and offers 55 hours of power reserve. A GMT function allows the user to track an additional time zone, making SBGJ261 an excellent timepiece for frequent travelers.
SBGJ261 is a U.S. Limited Edition of 500 watches.
