Seiko - Spring Drive Trio

Spring Drive Trio

Nov 05, 2022,15:45 PM

Today I visited the London Boutique and had the pleasure of viewing the 20th Anniversary Limited Edition (SBGY003), the Omiwatari (SBGY007), and the new Omiwatari (SBGY013). I love the size of these cases, and the lack of date and power reserve indicator on the dial. The Omiwataris have a shimmering pearlescence which is difficult to capture in photos. (The SBGY003 is, of course, long since sold out).

The dial is perfect

I only wish the lugs were a tiny bit longer, but other than that this is one of Grand Seiko's most appealing designs to date. How is the bracelet on the 013?

I didn't try it with the clasp closed, but it felt fine draped on my wrist. The rice beeds alternate polished and brushed, I think. The AD confirmed that it would be easy enough to put it on a leather strap, which would probably be my own personal prefere...

I can vouch for the simplicity and brilliance of the SBGY003. And of course the smooth sweep of the seconds hand is mesmerizing.
