HANDS-ON: The Grand Seiko Black Ceramic Spring Drive GMT (ref. SBGC219)
Last year Grand Seiko released a new-look, sporty, modular, ceramic and titanium Spring Drive Chronograph. It was a bold change of pace for the usually buttoned-up brand, and I’ve got to say it both surprised and delighted me. Baselworld 2017 sees the return of this modular approach, in the form of the Black Ceramic Collection … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Grand Seiko Black Ceramic Spring Drive GMT (ref.
