This model is a limited edition of 99 pieces. On balance, owners rate the Massena LAB Dato-Racer highly for its successful fusion of vintage design and contemporary wearability.

Grand Seiko SBGD201

Grand Seiko SBGD201 owners and reviewers praise its stellar platinum case with Zaratsu polishing and diamond-dust dial, with one reviewer calling it the most beautiful Grand Seiko they have seen. Its Spring Drive caliber 9R01 movement offers an 8-day power reserve from three barrels.
