Cazalea presents the 2017 Grand Seiko SBGX Quartz collection, detailing the significant brand change of removing the 'Seiko' name from the dial. This post offers a thorough visual catalog of the new models, many of which are re-released versions of existing references, providing essential information for enthusiasts monitoring Grand Seiko's brand repositioning.

Seiko recently announced that in 2017 they will separate the Grand Seiko line by removing the word "Seiko" on the dial. We now have the ability to show you the new watches for 2017. All the watches in this series of posts are on the GS website and designated as new models. In many (not all) cases these are the same as earlier models but with a different dial. Perhaps if your favorite watch was sold out, or inaccessible, it will reappear now with its new livery. Happy searching!

(This does not mean the older models are gone from the catalog, but I suspect they will disappear as the inventories are sold off.)  

I will freeze our Grand Seiko Master Spreadsheet at the last of the 2016 models, and at some point may create a new sheet for 2017- going forward.

The Grand Seiko SBGX263 is part of the brand's core quartz collection, representing Grand Seiko's commitment to high-precision quartz movements. These models are designed for daily wear, offering robust construction and the distinctive Grand Seiko finishing that applies to all its timepieces, regardless of movement type. The SBGX series emphasizes understated elegance and accuracy, making it a foundational element of the Grand Seiko catalog.

This model features a 9F62 quartz movement, known for its accuracy of +/-10 seconds per year, a date complication, and a 3-year battery life.
