It was only last year that Grand Seiko announced a line of slim, hand-wound mechanical dress watches that debuted what has since become one of my favorite new case shapes from any watchmaker. These early examples included the SBGK002, the SBGK004, the SBGK006, and a model that Stephen spent a week with, the SBGK005.
Beyond the beautiful, slender, retro-inspired case shape that seemed to skirt the line between a traditional round dress case and a tonneau, the new Elegance "Slim" watches had a few things in common. Most obvious among them was the use of the new 9S63 manually wound movement with small seconds and power reserve, and in select cases, beautiful lacquer dials featuring maki-e accents. Today, we have the newest evolution in the Grand Seiko Elegance story, the manually wound SBGW262. It too comes in a slim and discreet 39mm by 11.6mm case. But unlike the above-mentioned watches from last year, at the heart of this newest timepiece is the caliber 9S64, with displays for the hours, the minutes, and the seconds from the central axis.
