Seiko is a well-known brand among watch collectors for high-quality mechanical watches that are valued for their accuracy, craftsmanship, and affordability. The 2017 launch of this GMT model, also known as the SBGM221, more than lives up to the watchmaker's reputation. It presents a superbly balanced 39.5mm stainless steel watch with an extremely versatile style, wonderfully appealing looks, and the mechanical backing to match.
The watch's ivory dial, which stands out due to its rich color and ability to stand out from the competition while still having classic features like sharp hands and a blue-steel GMT pointer, is expertly balanced from the inside out. These hands are driven by an internal, self-winding 9S66 caliber that is made entirely in-house and has an extremely user-friendly GMT complication. The GMT hand is linked to the minute hand, so you should first adjust your second time zone before jumping the primary hour hand to match your local time. The local hour hand can be moved in one-hour increments, forward or backward, in the crown's first position.
With the SBGM221, you get a very wearable stainless steel watch with a unique and attractive dial, a simple-to-use GMT complication, and an all-around adaptable design that can be worn with both more formal and casual outfits. What more could you want from a watch for daily use?
