Common questions about the Grand Seiko Sport SBGE253

How big is the Grand Seiko Sport SBGE253?

The case measures 40.5mm across and 14.7mm thick. Case material: Steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

What movement is in the SBGE253?

Spring Drive GMT, Caliber 9R66. Power reserve is 72 hours. The movement uses 30 jewels.

Is the SBGE253 water resistant?

It is rated to 200 meters, about 656 feet. That is a diving rating: it is built for scuba use, not just for getting wet. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Does the SBGE253 have a nickname?

Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT. Collector nicknames are not official Grand Seiko names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
