The Grand Seiko SBGA491 Katana is a U.S.-exclusive model inspired by the revered Japanese sword, known for its unparalleled craftsmanship and refined beauty. Just as the katana is forged through a meticulous process of fire, water, earth, and air, this timepiece embodies the same level of artistry and precision, celebrating Japan’s deep heritage of steelwork and watchmaking.  The 40mm stainless steel case, crafted in the iconic 44GS design, is finished with Grand Seiko’s signature Zaratsu polishing—an intricate technique that mirrors the hand-finishing process of a katana’s blade. The stunning green dial draws inspiration from shingane, the inner steel core of the katana, and features a textured pattern reminiscent of tamahagane, the jewel-like steel from which traditional samurai swords are made. The dial also incorporates a power reserve indicator and a smoothly sweeping seconds hand, a signature of Grand Seiko’s Spring Drive technology.  Powering this timepiece is the Spring Drive Caliber 9R65, a movement that seamlessly merges mechanical craftsmanship with modern technology, offering an impressive 72-hour power reserve and an accuracy of ±1 second per day.  **Condition:** This watch is new unworn and still retains most of the protective plastics from Grand Seiko.
