Grand Seiko SBGR0. SBGR0. 79 Magnetic Resistant Watches Hands- On. In this article, I am probably going to discuss a few topics only tangentially related to these rather wonderful automatic anti- magnetic ref. SBGR0. 77 and SBGR0. Grand Seiko watches.

Allow me to share with you the reason for this in advance - no one appreciates watches like this overnight. To fully understand the niche appeal of high- end Japanese sort- of- dress- watches with special anti- magnetic properties, you need to be in the watch game for a while. Even more niche are cousin watches to these pieces which are very similar in appearance but contain high- end Grand Seiko quartz movements. Those are the Grand Seiko SBGX0. SBGX0. 91, and SBGX9.

While trying not to sound corny, I will say that wrist watch appreciation is a lot like an onion. There are most certainly many layers and folds which reveal themselves only with time, investigation, and experience. On a simple level, you can put a Grand Seiko on someone's wrist, explain that it is a high- quality item, and remind them that other people will find them cool for wearing one. How, though, do you explain to someone the relative position of high- end Japanese watches in the larger luxury timepiece market, or why anti- magnetic timepieces are making a surprising comeback?

I don't really know the answer, but if you spend enough time checking out watches and experience what it is like to wear a lot of options, most people will tend to agree that watches of this ilk are pretty damn cool. Anti- magnetic watches (labeled as "Magnetic Resistant" on these Grand Seiko timepieces) are returning as a rather desirable item, after not being very much a part of "the watch conversation" for quite some time. While Rolex has enjoyed oodles of cult success with the Return of the Milgauss about 8 years ago in 2.

Omega that helped spawn serious modern interest in timepieces that resist the effects of magnetism with the Omega Aqua Terra > 1. Gauss (reviewed here) in 2. The 1. 5,0. 00 Gauss (as it is often colloquially known) employed a new, much more modern way of fighting magnetism compared to prior techniques; which involve shielding the movement inside the watch case with iron to ward off magnetic fields. The technology in the Omega 1.

Gauss was later coined "Master Co- Axial," and involves the very simple (yet technically challenging) use of non- magnetic parts in the movement. Omega will eventually make the majority of its in- house made movements "Master Co- Axial," which is another big step in telling watch consumers that magnetism is something to worry about. So should you worry about magnetism as a watch wearer? Yes and no. You have to realize that, to a large degree, the concern isn't that you are suddenly going to find yourself around serious industrial magnets or in an MRI machine.

The worry is how relatively small magnetic fields often caused by modern technology can either temporarily effect or permanently damage the movement inside of your watches. Standard equipment for all mechanical watch repair facilities is a de- magnetizer machine.

Originally, anti- magnetic watches were developed for various types of professionals, such as scientists who worked around strong magnetic fields. Ironically, as we use more and more technology in our life, the "threat" of magnetism to watches is amplified. So do you need an anti- magnetic watch?

Maybe. Do you want one? Probably. Grand Seiko SBGX0. Grand Seiko came out with this assortment of Magnetic Resistant watches around 2. This includes two mechanical versions as well as three quartz versions, with the latter including a 5. Grand Seiko SBGX0. The collection also included the very visually similar Grand Seiko SBGR0.

SBGR0. 79 automatic models. Given that the watches are so visually similar, the automatic models have a date window, while the quartz models have no date window on the dial (which I personally prefer a little bit, given how it provides excellent dial symmetry).

While these timepieces very much fit the conservative, dressy mold of most Grand Seiko watches, what appeals to me about the Magnetic Resistant collection is some of the sportier touches. This includes mostly brushed finishing to the cases and bracelet, as well as the hints of red color on the dial. You'll also notice that compared to many other Grand Seiko cases, the Grand Seiko SBGR and SBGX range has rather wide lugs and are a bit more thick overall due to the inclusion of the iron core. This helps them wear larger, despite the rather medium dimension of the case size which is just under 3. The lugs also happen to have an interesting and modern angular design to them.

One area where the mechanical and high- end quartz versions of these watches differ is case thickness - by almost 5mm. Equipped with what is perhaps the most impressive high- end analog quartz movement around, the caliber 9.

F6. 1- based SBGX family of watches are just 1. Grand Seiko SBGR models contain an in- house made caliber 9. S6. 5 and have cases which are 1. That is a serious enough difference that they wear larger. Ideally for me, I would have a 4.

SBGX with the quartz movement and the slimmer profile. Both are good options though. Grand Seiko watches are available with either quartz, mechanical, or Seiko Spring Drive movements. While all are good choices, I have to admit that I am more drawn to their quartz and Spring Drive offerings.

It isn't that Seiko doesn't make excellent mechanical movements - they do. It is rather that no one else offers anything like their high- end quartz or Spring Drive movements.

Their 9. F series of quartz movements found in the Grand Seiko SBGX range are accurate to within about 1. You'll never be able to go back to cheaper quartz again after seeing a Seiko 9. F family movement.

Having said that.. S family found in these Grand Seiko SBGR models. Should I start talking about Grand Seiko dials? Maybe not, as it is a long discussion.

Some call them boring, but no one denies the pursuit of perfection Seiko puts into the hands, hour markers, and overall finishing.
