Grand Seiko

Grand Seiko's Spring Drive caliber combines a mechanical mainspring with an electronic regulator to achieve a perfectly smooth gliding seconds hand and accuracy of plus or minus 1 second per day. The Tri-synchro regulator uses the energy of the mainspring to generate electricity that powers the quartz oscillator and IC, eliminating the need for a battery. A 72-hour power reserve and 30 jewels make it one of the most technologically unique movements in horology.

03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Grand Seiko SBGA293 owners praise its light cream dial and exceptionally well-finished markers and hands. The Spring Drive movement is highlighted as a special feature, offering high accuracy and a blend of jewelry and technology, though the rotor can be audible. Some owners find the case size a concern for formal wear, while others consider it not particularly thick and appreciate the Spring Drive's unique horology, accuracy, and reliability. On balance, owners rate the Grand Seiko SBGA293 highly for its unique Spring Drive movement and refined dial and hand finishing.
