A Spring Drive model that evinces the strength of Grand Seiko’s enduring emblem, the lion.

A Spring Drive watch with the presence of a lion.

Its bold case design conveys the fierceness of a lion as it takes its place on the wrist, and yet its comfort on the wrist is remarkable. Grand Seiko’s unique High-intensity Titanium forms the case and bracelet, imparting a lightweight feel and making this watch a joy to wear. A lustrous white dial, which incorporates a design that represents a lion’s mane, combines with the wide indexes and hour hand to grant the watch a remarkably striking appearance, communicating power and toughness that reminds us of our inner strength. The watch boasts the features that matter most in a sports model. Legibility in all conditions comes via a Lumibrite coating for the indexes and hands and, a formidable water resistance of 20 bar ensures that this lion can tread anywhere.

The new SBGA481 is powered by the tried-and-true Caliber 9R65 Spring Drive movement, delivering an average precision of ±15 seconds per month (±1 second per day). Reflecting the natural flow of time itself, the seconds hand glides smoothly and silently with no stopping or shuddering.
