The Grand Seiko SBGW295 features an elegant and compact case, with a 38mm diameter, a relative thinness of 10.9mm and short lugs. Simple, overall domed and less sharp than later models – the Grammar of Design wasn’t yet defined in 1960 – the case is entirely polished with the Zaratsu (distortion-free) technique. One major difference for this new model, the case is here made of Brilliant Hard Titanium (a special alloy that is brighter and better reacts to polishing and is twice as hard as stainless steel).

The black colour and the cold tone of the case are balanced by the warmth and richness of the markers and hands. Using another traditional Japanese craft, maki-e, the hands and markers are brought to life by Urushi master Isshu Tamura. All the golden elements of the dial are built up, layer upon layer, through the application of lacquer, later complemented by a 24k gold powder applied by hand. The golden hands are traditional GS and curved by hand to follow the curvature of the dial and crystal.
