introduced the SBGA527 Spring Drive Limited Edition, created exclusively for Ben Bridge Jeweler\u2019s two Honolulu boutiques. The timepiece draws poetic inspiration from the Pacific Ocean, celebrating the \u201cGoodwill Beach City Relationship\u201d established between the white-sand shores of Shirarahama in Wakayama, Japan and Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawaii.<\/p>\n<p>Its deep blue dial reflects the clarity of Shirarahama\u2019s coastal waters, detailed with hand-applied diamond-cut markers and faceted hands that play with incoming light. Styled after the iconic 1967 62GS design, the 40mm case and matching bracelet are crafted from lightweight, scratch-resistant High-Intensity Titanium and finished with distortion-free Zaratsu polishing.<\/p>\n<p>Underneath a box-shaped sapphire crystal, the timepiece is powered by Grand Seiko\u2019s in-house Spring Drive Caliber 9R65. The automatic movement offers a 72-hour power reserve, 100 meters of water resistance, and an average accuracy of \u00b115 seconds per month. Its signature seconds hand glides continuously across the dial, capturing the uninterrupted flow of time and the natural rhythm of ocean tides. Limited to just 50 pieces, the Honolulu-exclusive Grand Seiko SBGA527 retails for $7,600 USD and is available only at Ben Bridge\u2019s Ala Moana Center and Kalakaua Avenue Grand Seiko Boutiques in Honolulu.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6770292\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Czapek Reverses Its Escapement for the Skeletonized Promenade Transparencies Aqua Blue Watch\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

High-Intensity Titanium 62GS watch features an ocean-inspired deep blue dial.<\/p>\n<p>Powered by the Spring Drive Caliber 9R65, priced at $7,600 USD<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Grand Seiko has introduced the SBGA527 Spring Drive Limited Edition, created exclusively for Ben Bridge Jeweler\u2019s two Honolulu boutiques. The timepiece draws poetic inspiration from the Pacific Ocean, celebrating the \u201cGoodwill Beach City Relationship\u201d established between the white-sand shores of Shirarahama in Wakayama, Japan and Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawaii.<\/p>\n<p>Its deep blue dial reflects the clarity of Shirarahama\u2019s coastal waters, detailed with hand-applied diamond-cut markers and faceted hands that play with incoming light. Styled after the iconic 1967 62GS design, the 40mm case and matching bracelet are crafted from lightweight, scratch-resistant High-Intensity Titanium and finished with distortion-free Zaratsu polishing.<\/p>\n<p>Underneath a box-shaped sapphire crystal, the timepiece is powered by Grand Seiko\u2019s in-house Spring Drive Caliber 9R65. The automatic movement offers a 72-hour power reserve, 100 meters of water resistance, and an average accuracy of \u00b115 seconds per month. Its signature seconds hand glides continuously across the dial, capturing the uninterrupted flow of time and the natural rhythm of ocean tides. Limited to just 50 pieces, the Honolulu-exclusive Grand Seiko SBGA527 retails for $7,600 USD and is available only at Ben Bridge\u2019s Ala Moana Center and Kalakaua Avenue Grand Seiko Boutiques in Honolulu.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6770292\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Czapek Reverses Its Escapement for the Skeletonized Promenade Transparencies Aqua Blue Watch\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.
