Echoes of Elegance: The 2025 Wako Exclusive Grand Seiko Hi-Beat GMT SBGJ289

The wait is almost over—the 2025 Wako Exclusive Grand Seiko Elegance Collection Automatic Hi-Beat 36000 GMT Limited Edition is set to launch in this June. With only 70 pieces available exclusively from WAKO, this highly coveted timepiece is destined to be one of the most sought-after collector’s editions of the summer.

A Dial Inspired by Ginza’s Rain-Kissed Windows
The WAKO Grand Seiko SBGJ289 mesmerizes with its riveting blue-green dial, reminiscent of the view when you look over the windows of the WAKO store from inside during rainy days. The gold "GS" emblem proudly reflects the distinguished WAKO logo adorning the flagship boutique’s facade. The dial’s textured finish elegantly mimics raindrops cascading down the window of the Wako store—a subtle yet rare design feature that sets this masterpiece apart from previous Grand Seiko models.
Precision Meets Elegance – The Grand Seiko 9S86 Caliber
At its core, the 9S86 caliber powers the SBGJ289, featuring a high-beat 36,000 vibration per hour mechanism for superior accuracy. With an automatic winding movement, a 55-hour power reserve, and a precision rate of +5 to -3 seconds per day, this watch embodies Grand Seiko’s relentless pursuit of horological perfection.
The contrasting white GMT hand stands out beautifully against the dial, offering effortless readability while maintaining an understated elegance. The markers and intricate detailing exude sophistication—clear, yet subtly arranged for a harmonious aesthetic.

A Strap for Every Mood
Complementing this breathtaking timepiece is an exclusive blue-turquoise crocodile strap, enhancing the watch’s luxurious appeal. With interchangeable strap options, collectors can seamlessly adapt their style to match any occasion.

A Caseback That Reveals True Mastery
Turn the SBGJ289 over, and you’ll witness the mesmerizing precision of Grand Seiko’s high-beat movement through its exhibition caseback. The lion emblem, exclusive “WAKO LIMITED EDITION” engraving in gold color, and individually numbered caseback further emphasize the rarity of this exquisite piece.
