Stunning Grand Seiko SBGR311 watch

This is one of the three limited edition releases from 2018, celebrating the 20th-anniversary of the 9S Mechanical caliber introduced in 1998.  This is "the Cookie" - a larger diameter sibling to "the Whirlpool", sharing the same dial design but in a brown / bronze finish.

 Only 1,300 pieces were produced worldwide, engraved with a gold Grand Seiko lion emblem and anniversary text on the sapphire case back. 

Very good condition.  There is a small dink to the bezel and the case side - visible in the photos - but otherwise no obvious blemishes.  Excellent working order.

This model features a 42mm stainless steel case housing the Caliber 9S68 automatic movement, which offers a 72-hour power reserve and a normal usage accuracy of +10 to −1 seconds per day. Its distinctive brown dial displays a radial spiral pattern of 80 curved lines, symbolizing Grand Seiko’s heritage and the fiery craftsmanship of Shizukuishi Town blacksmiths, while also incorporating the historic “G,” “S,” and Daini Seikosha “S” marks.
