Grand Seiko brings two new Classic GMTs to its Elegance collection

Grand Seiko expands its popular Elegance collection with two new GMT iterations - SBGM255 “Snowdrop” and SBGM257 “Moondrop.” Both the new references preserve the familiar design language while introducing fresh dial textures and distinctive tonal moods.

Both models are housed in a 39.5mm stainless-steel case defined by clean curves and mirror-like surfaces finished using Grand Seiko’s sophisticated Zaratsu polishing technique. Slightly angled lugs emphasize the precision of the casework, while the box-shaped sapphire crystal adds a subtle vintage note reminiscent of 1960s timepieces. As true GMT watches, the hour hand can be adjusted independently, allowing for seamless time-setting while traveling.

A contemporary, geometric spiral motif shapes the dials and introduces a lively play of light and shadow. The SBGM255 Snowdrop captures the sparkle of dew and early spring snow. Its white dial forms a crisp backdrop for the blued GMT hand and matching blue 24-hour scale. The SBGM257 Moondrop offers a deeper, more atmospheric palette.

The navy-blue dial evokes autumn nights touched by moonlight, accented by a gold GMT hand and gold-toned 24-hour markers that add warmth and elegance. On both versions, the hands and indexes are diamond-cut and hand-polished for clarity and precision, a hallmark of Grand Seiko’s craftsmanship. A date display at 3 o’clock completes the layout.

Both models come fitted with a crocodile leather strap and folding clasp. They will be available from December 2025 in Grand Seiko boutiques and selected retailers worldwide, each priced at Rs. 4,87,000 (approx.)
